View Anytime – Alvin Ailey American Dance Theater
Alvin Ailey said, “I believe that the dance came from the people and that it should always be delivered back to the people.” While we are unable to join you in the theater and in the classroom, we hope that the Ailey spirit continues to reach you and your family to bring joy during this uncertain time. Alvin Ailey American Dance Theater in performance at Lincoln Center: this program includes Wayne McGregor’s Chroma, Ronald K. Brown’s Grace, Robert Battle’s Takademe, and Alvin Ailey’s Revelations. (Click the dance titles to learn more about each piece, if you’d like!)
Themes
- This legendary dance company has existed since 1958. Its current artistic director, Robert Battle, emphasizes the importance of honoring the company’s history while also bringing fresh ideas to the stage. Do you agree that this is important? Why or why not?
- These dances are all very different, and use a wide range of music and sound. How does music affect your experience of a dance (if there is music)? Does a familiar song ever feel different when it is used in a dance?
