Program
American Ballet Theatre –
Zephyr
pas de deux by Claire Davidson
Zephyr
, meaning a gentle breeze, is taken from the lyrics of Jacques Offenbach’s
Barcarolle
. Choreographed by American Ballet Theatre corps de ballet dancer Claire Davison,
Zephyr
is a pas de deux inspired by the wind on a warm summer night, inciting dance and play in everything it touches. It celebrates a fleeting moment of magic, romance, and beauty.
Dance Theatre of Harlem –
Passage of Being
by Jodie Gates
Fall into the passage of time in Jodie Gates’ new ballet,
Passage of Being
, an exploration of life’s fleeting moments set on Dance Theatre of Harlem’s extraordinary dancers. This circular, and physical work unfolds in three cinematic movements set to the evocative music of Oscar-nominated composer Ryan Lott (
Everything Everywhere All at Once
). Shifting perspectives and the bittersweet beauty of time’s swift journey are brought to life through Gates’ expressive choreography and inventive lighting by Michael Korsch with elegant costumes by Martha Chamberlain. At the heart of this elliptic ballet is the majestic and haunting Son Lux song “Don't Say It's Too Late.” Gates weaves these elements into a poignant reflection on love, connection, and the power of the present. Don’t miss this visually deeply moving new work.
New York City Ballet –
Each in Their Own Time
pas de deux by Lar Lubovitch
Lar Lubovitch’s
Each In Their Own Time
is set to selections from Brahms’ Eight Piano Pieces (Op 76), performed by an onstage pianist. The duet was created for New York City Center’s Fall For Dance Festival in 2021 and is the second work by Lubovitch to enter New York City Ballet's repertory.
Alvin Ailey American Dance Theater –
A Case of You
by Judith Jamison
A Case of You
is an emotional and sensual duet by Artistic Director Emerita Judith Jamison (1943-2024), performed to Diana Krall’s version of Joni Mitchell’s song of the same title. The duet premiered publicly in 2005 as part of Ms. Jamison’s larger work,
Reminiscin’
, inspired by Edward Hopper’s famous painting
Nighthawks
and great female jazz artists.
Ballet Hispánico New York –
Trança (Braid)
by Cassi Abranches
In
Trança
, a recent world premiere, individuality and collectivity meet to explore human relationships. Inspired by the ancestral art of braiding, it weaves Brazil’s unique cultural references, creating a living fabric of movement, identity, and community.
