In 2011, the company celebrates 50 years of its signature masterwork, Revelations. This tribute to Aileys heritage uses traditional spirituals to explore the places of deepest grief and holiest joy in the human soul—the exalting climax of a mixed repertory program of the most gorgeous dancing you ever did see (New York Magazine) by the most successful modern dance company on the planet (New York Times).
March 9th and 10th at the Touhill – The Joffrey Ballet flexes its muscles as one of the world’s top dance companies in an edgy and passionate program by contemporary choreographers. In the white-hot Age of Innocence by a brilliant new voice in American dance, Edwaard Liang, passions seethe below the surface of social conventions until they are sensually unleashed. After the Rain by British choreographer Christopher Wheeldon explores the push-pull of relationships that are sometimes tender, sometimes agonizing. The program also features a work that has become a modern classic, the explosive In the Middle, Somewhat Elevated by American choreographer William Forsythe, who pushes ballet to its limits with rapid-fire virtuosity. Presented by Wells Fargo Advisors and Dance St. Louis.
