Lucinda Childs: Momentary Reprise

Fisher Center at Bard

Lucinda Childs is one of the most important choreographers of our time. She was a member of the legendary Judson Dance Theater movement, which revolutionized dance in New York in the 1960s, and her work has significantly shaped dance history since the 1970s. With Four New Works, she presents her most recent works, based on compositions by Philip Glass, Hildur Guðnadóttir, and Johann Sebastian Bach, together with the Lucinda Childs Dance Company, video artist Anri Sala, and pianist Anton Batagov. Based on works by Philip Glass, Hildur Guðnadóttir, and Johann Sebastian Bach, she also performs a solo from 1965 featuring the dance icon herself.

Four New Works

SZENE Salzburg

New York-based Gibney Company showcases its dynamic range with two world premieres by renowned American choreographers Lucinda Childs and Peter Chu, alongside a Company premiere by Roy Assaf, highlighting the eclecticism and depth of its repertory choices.

Roy Assaf’s A Couple is an intimate and evocative exploration of the complex and shifting dynamics between two people. The work emerges from the foundation of Figure No. 16, a 60-minute work developed in collaboration with Ariel Freedman and Avshalom Latucha.

Gibney Company

The Joyce Theater

Over the course of his illustrious career, renowned composer Philip Glass conceived The Etudes as a set of solo piano works to expand his piano technique. Now amongst Glass’ most popular works, The Etudes have inspired performances and interpretations from artists worldwide. In Dancing with Glass: The Piano Etudes, five new choreographic perspectives on The Etudes will be presented alongside a performance by guest pianist Maki Namekawa, one of the world’s foremost interpreters of Glass’ music. The evening will feature works by post-modern innovator Lucinda Childs, Chanon Judson of Urban Bush Women, Justin Peck of New York City Ballet, Brazilian tap artist Leonardo Sandoval, and Los Angeles-based choreographers Bobbi Jene Smith and Or Schraiber

Dancing with Glass: the Piano Etudes

Lucinda Childs’s 1979 masterwork Dance layers a propulsive Philip Glass score, haunting Sol LeWitt projections, and buoyant choreography into a singular collaboration that remains as fresh and exhilarating as it was four decades ago.

Entitled “Pulsations”, this programme evokes both the rhythm of time and the beating heart, mirroring the repetitive music of Max Richter that permeates two pieces in the programme: the brand new creation by Lucinda Childs, icon of post-modern dance, for the Paris Opera Ballet, 42 years after Premier orage, and Schmetterling (2010) by Sol León and Paul Lightfoot.
