Alvin Ailey American Dance Theater

The Ailey men display their extraordinary strength in Black Milk, a physically demanding quintet by Batsheva Dance Company's Artistic Director Ohad Naharin, whose choreography has been hailed by The New York Times as "raw and elegant… always powerful." Danced to a score for two marimbas by Paul Smadbeck, this tightly structured work challenges the men with its juxtaposition of tempos, textures and energy.
