Alvin Ailey American Dance Theater

Profound images that Lynne Taylor-Corbett witnessed while on tour with the Ailey company in Africa and the Middle East immediately following the Six Day War provide the inspiration for her creation. This powerful, thought-provoking dance work, set to Peter Gabriel's Passion, brings the choreographer-director's experiences in theater, ballet and film to bear on the Ailey dancers' commanding physical and dramatic skills. Taylor-Corbett, well-known to audiences for her Tony award-nominated work on the Broadway musical Swing!, has been praised by Dance Magazine for her choreography's "unbridled energy, vivid emotions and joyous theatricality."
