SUMMARY:Paul Taylor Dance Company
DESCRIPTION:Please note: this performance is currently waitlist only. \nThe vigorous program showcases three contrasting works that explore the complexities of the human condition through Paul Taylor’s signature theatricality. It opens with the physically demanding dynamic geometry of Taylor’s “Brandenburgs” (Opus 88\, 1988)\, an exuberant\, gallant piece set to Johann Sebastian Bach’s Brandenburg Concertos Nos. 3 and 6. \nFollowing “Brandenburgs” is a sensational new work by critically acclaimed choreographer Pam Tanowitz\, “Messengers\, Maidens and the End of Something Else\,” danced to Franz Schubert’s haunting “Death and the Maiden\,” with sets and costumes by visual artist Sarah Crowner. \nIn a somber shift\, the evening concludes with the company premiere of resident choreographer Robert Battle’s “No Longer Silent” (2007). The piece’s mechanical\, ritualistic movement is intensified with “Ogelala” (Ballettmysterium) Op. 53 by Erwin Schulhoff\, a Jewish composer whose work was banned in Nazi Germany. \nContent Warnings/Age Recommendations\nThis performance is recommended for ages 11 and older. \nThemes\nIn Robert Battle’s “No Longer Silent\,” they explore connections between the experiences of people from different cultures. This work is informed by deep respect\, self-knowledge\, and empathy. Have you ever noticed similarities between your personal experience and someone else’s? How do you think that respect\, self-knowledge and/or empathy can help you to connect with someone else? \nAccessibility\nMany performance venues offer accessibility accommodations such as wheelchair seating\, assistive listening\, sensory ear plugs\, ASL interpretation\, open captioning\, or audio description\, among other options. These accommodations are specific to each event\, and may not be available everywhere.

SUMMARY:Alvin Ailey American Dance Theater
DESCRIPTION:Please note: this performance is currently waitlist only. \nAlvin Ailey American Dance Theater returns to Northrop with more dance The New York Times calls “transfixing\, pulsating and galvanizing.” Embarking on its next era under the leadership of new Artistic Director Alicia Graf Mack\, the company remains guided as ever by Alvin Ailey’s pioneering legacy — continuing to push the bounds of what the human body can do and what the human spirit can achieve. Audiences will be treated to different programming each night\, including some classic favorites alongside several new works by contemporary choreographers that promise to propel dance in exciting new directions. Both programs culminate with Ailey’s ultimate anthem to resilience and joy\, “Revelations.” \nThe Saturday\, April 18 performance includes “Jazz Island” (2025) by Maija García\, “Difference Between” (2025) by Mathew Neenan and “Song of the Anchorite” (2025) by Jamar Roberts. \nThe Sunday\, April 19 features “The Holy Blues” (2025) by Jawole Willa Jo Zollar\, Samantha Figgins and Chalvar Monteiro\, “Blink of an Eye” (2025) by Medhi Walerski and “A Case of You” (2004) by Judith Jamison. \nBoth performances will conclude with the touchstone of inspiration\, “Revelations” (1960). More than just a popular dance work\, “Revelations” has become a cultural treasure. Performed to African American spirituals\, song-sermons\, gospel songs and holy blues\, Alvin Ailey’s “Revelations” fervently explores the places of deepest grief and holiest joy in the soul. This enduring classic is born out of the choreographer’s “blood memories” of his childhood in rural Texas and the Baptist Church. Since its premiere in 1960\, the ballet has been performed continuously around the globe\, crossing barriers of faith and nationality\, making it the most widely-seen modern dance work in the world. \nContent Warnings/Age Recommendations\nThis performance is recommended for ages 11 and older. \nThemes\n\nThis performance is a blend of newer work and classic work from decades ago. What similarities and differences do you imagine there will be between the newer and older dances?\n“Revelations” is a deeply personal work by founder Alvin Ailey\, reflecting on his childhood memories. If you were to create a personal work of art inspired by your life\, what art form(s) would you use? What would the work be called?\n\nAccessibility\nMany performance venues offer accessibility accommodations such as wheelchair seating\, assistive listening\, sensory ear plugs\, ASL interpretation\, open captioning\, or audio description\, among other options.
