About Polish Pieces

Description

A dazzling gem of colorful and playful movement built on simple motifs and geometric patterns. The ensemble of dancers create a brilliant kaleidoscope of energy that's contrasted with two sensual and lyrical pas de deux. As Artistic Director Emerita Judith Jamison remarks, "Polish Pieces is quite wonderful. It shows how still we can be. How quiet. How dynamic and textured the company can be and how wonderful we look in bright colors. There's nothing like an Ailey body in,...shocking colors!"
