Symphony of Movement

Peter Martin Wege Theatre

This quartet of dances demonstrates a wide variety of repertory. Making its debut with the Company is a work from choreographer Lar Lubovitch, set to Brahms piano compositions, commissioned by New York City Center and created in 2021 on two of NYCB’s principal dancers. Representing tradition are works from the founding choreographers: Balanchine’s evocative Divertimento from ‘Le Baiser de la Fée,’ which never fails to wrap audiences in its air of mystery, while Robbins’ The Four Seasons moves through the cycles of the title, illuminating each with contrasting classical dances.

Lincoln Center

Stanton Welch's Tu Tu, a highly stylized classical work with a playful twist, features 22 dancers in three movements, set to Maurice Ravel's Piano Concerto in G Major with costumes inspired by Gustav Klimt.

Lar Lubovitch's Elemental Brubeck channels the iconic style of Dave Brubeck's 'jazz-meets-symphony' piece with swaying hips, jazzy twists and breathtaking leaps.

Fall Into Rhythm

Cobb Energy Performing Arts Centre

Jerome Robbins is considered one of the most important ballet makers of the 20th century and his unmistakeable style has had a decisive influence on American dance. Interplay, his second choreographic work, premiered in 1945 in New York, provides a rousing opening to the four-part programme American Signatures that combines dance icons with current choreographic voices.

Performed to Morton Gould’s jazzy score, Interplay presents precisely what its title suggests: as if in a playground, the dancers meet, full of fun, but also competing with each other in Robbins’ choreography, that employs jazz elements to enrich the classical ballet vocabulary and with which the theatre maker and dance artist created one of the works that had a formative influence on his aesthetic.
