Alvin Ailey American Dance Theater - New Works tickets
About Alvin Ailey American Dance Theater - New Works
The New Works programme features fresh work by some of the most respected contemporary choreographers.
Blink of an Eye by Medhi Walerski (UK premiere)
In an intriguing piece that probes the relationship between dance and music, Medhi Walerski lays bare the strength and vulnerability inherent in the creative process. The timeless beauty of J.S. Bach’s violin sonatas and partita anchors the athletic movement that is both precise and expansive.
A Case of You by Judith Jamison
This sensual duet—an excerpt from Judith Jamison’s 2005 Reminiscin’ – is an emotionally intense showstopper danced to Diana Krall’s sultry rendition of the classic Joni Mitchell song.
Many Angels by Lar Lubovitch (UK premiere)
Against a heavenly backdrop, dancers float across the stage to Adagietto from Gustav Mahler’s Symphony No. 5. Equal parts monumental and dreamlike, the ballet is a brilliant showcase of
technical skill and stunning musicality.
Song of the Anchorite by Jamar Roberts (UK premiere)
Renowned choreographer Jamar Roberts gives a fresh take on the 1961 solo Hermit Songs, Alvin Ailey’s reaction to a set of medieval religious texts and the haunting song cycle by Samuel Barber that they inspired. The result is a powerful meditation on passion and devotion – both earthly and spiritual – danced to jazz trumpeter Avishai Cohen’s interpretation of a Maurice Ravel composition.
Revelations by Alvin Ailey
Alvin Ailey’s iconic Revelations is the ultimate anthem to resilience and joy. Since its premiere in 1960, Revelations has been performed continuously around the globe, making it the most widely seen modern dance work in the world.
