Alvin Ailey American Dance Theater, New York City Center’s Principal Dance Company returns to the stage for a much-anticipated annual season in their “home” thru December 19, 2021. Marking a decade of leading the Company, Artistic Director Robert Battle presents Ailey’s renowned artists in a diverse repertory of premieres, new productions and Ailey classics. The repertory features two world premieres adapted from video to stage by Robert Battle and Ailey Resident Choreographer Jamar Roberts as well as four new productions.
“There will be much to celebrate this December as Alvin Ailey American Dance Theater returns to the stage at our New York City Center “home”, reconnecting to audiences during live performances with artistry that renews our spirit of courage, hope and joy,” stated Artistic Director Robert Battle. “I am deeply humbled to have led this seminal Company for a decade, joined by incomparable dancers and choreographers on a journey of discovery that extends from the powerful works of our founder to the important voices of today – an ongoing dance dialogue that shines a light on the resilience of the human spirit.”
We enjoy Battle 10th Anniversary program unveiled on December marking a decade of Artistic Director Robert Battle’s leadership that has moved the Company forward in exciting ways into a seventh decade. The program featured a Mass, Ella, In/Side, For Four, Unfold, Takademe, Love Stories Finale. The dances, ranging from delightful to exhilarating, thrilled us and the entire audience.
A standing ovation to Mr. Battle and the Ailey dancers!
