CENTURY by Amy Hall Garner
Amy Hall Garner’s first work for Ailey is a celebration of life, resilience, and joy inspired by her grandfather on the eve of his 100th birthday. This deeply personal piece is danced to the music of Ray Charles, Count Basie, and The Dirty Dozen Brass Band.
Are You in Your Feelings? by Kyle Abraham
Acclaimed choreographer Kyle Abraham’s newest work is a celebration of Black culture, Black music, and the youthful spirit that perseveres in us all. Scored to a “mixtape” of soul, hip-hop, and R&B, it explores the connections among music, communication, and personal memory.
Ailey Classics I and II
This special two-act program is comprised of highlights from some of Mr. Ailey’s best-loved ballets, including Pas de Duke, Masekela Langage, Opus McShann, and more.
