Ailey Experience Atlanta: Alvin Ailey Global Influence Panel
with Alvin Ailey Dance Foundation Directors
Friday, February 19, 2021 | 7:00pm - 8:00pm EST
In Alvin Ailey’s work as a dancer, choreographer, director and activist, he fused theatre, modern dance, ballet, and jazz with black vernacular, creating hope-fueled choreography that continues to spread global awareness of black life in America. Mr. Ailey created havens for nurturing black artists and expressing the universality of the African-American experience through dance by establishing Alvin Ailey American Dance Theater. His legacy is now continued through all branches of the Alvin Ailey American Dance Foundation including the Ailey School, Ailey Extension, and AileyCamp.
Join prominent directors of the Ailey foundation as they discuss Alvin Ailey's invaluable contributions to the arts and global community. The panel will be moderated by Jai McClendon Jones, executive artistic director and founder of AREA Atlanta, co-presenter of Ailey Experience.
