About

Artistic Director Emerita Judith Jamison pays tribute to the spirit and life of the gifted Olympian Florence Griffith-Joyner, the track and field superstar who died a premature death after a heart seizure at the age of 39. Merging dance athleticism and art, Jamison's work was commissioned by the 2002 Olympic Arts Festival. The ballet received its world premiere during the Company's 2001 City Center season in New York City.
