As part of the Dec 14, 2016 celebration of Ronald K. Brown, the choreographer whose works have dazzled Ailey audiences for 20 years, the Company will perform an excerpt of Ife / My Heart. First performed in 2005, Ife / My Heart "shows Mr. Brown at his most euphoric, weaving intricate tapestries of earthbound, undulatory motion," says The New York Times.
Ife/My Heart was originally created through the Ailey New Works Fund, supported by Altria Group, Inc.
The original production of Ife/My Heart was supported by the Ailey New Choreography Initiative, sponsored by AT&T; and was also made possible, in part, by public funds from the New York State Council on Arts, a State agency; Joanne Woodward & Paul Newman; and Elaine & Lawrence Rothenberg.
