Alvin Ailey American Dance Theater returns to Sadler’s Wells with two programmes that showcase the extraordinary artistry of a company that has changed the face of American dance over the course of more than half a century.
Programme One includes the gripping solo In/Side, plus Dancing Spirit, a piece that fuses movement from Brazil, Cuba and the USA. Suite Otis is a playful battle of the sexes set to some of Otis Redding’s best-loved songs.
Both programmes feature the classic Revelations, the most seen modern dance work in the world, choreographed by Ailey and first performed in 1960. A piece that celebrates and pays tribute to American dance music and history; it explores a journey from deepest grief to unbound joy and continues to inspire audiences
whenever it is performed.
Latecomers: NOT ADMITTED UNTIL THE INTERVAL (nb 'schools matinee' does not have an interval, so no latecomers allowed)
