About
One of the great companies of the world
In a season entitled “American Legacies,” the Company explores Martha Graham’s relation to Americana and Modernism. Graham works to be performed include her visceral masterwork The Rite of Spring, her extraordinary collaboration with Aaron Copland and Isamu Noguchi, Appalachian Spring, and her joyous Satyric Festival Song, danced by special guest star FKA twigs.
Two explosive new additions to the repertory will shine light on uniquely American themes. The Company will present a production of Agnes de Mille’s 1942 classic Rodeo, with Aaron Copland’s iconic score reorchestrated for a Bluegrass ensemble, presenting the ballet in a way that explores the Black origins of that musical form. The dance will be paired with a new work by Jamar Roberts with a commissioned score by Grammy-winning composer Rhiannon Giddens.
Programming subject to change.
