Arpino Dance Festival

Tue Sep 30 - Sun Oct 12

“A distinctly American choreographer” with “seemingly unstoppable creativity” (The New York Times), choreographer Gerald Arpino, with Robert Joffrey, created a ballet company and body of work that left a singular and enduring impact on American ballet. In this collaboration between The Gerald Arpino Foundation and The Joyce Theater, the Arpino Dance Festival celebrates his profound legacy with a rousing array of his signature works, including Round of Angels, Light Rain, and Sea Shadow, along with some works unseen in New York for more than three decades. The festival also features an exceptional lineup of world-renowned artists from The Joffrey Ballet, Dance Theatre of Harlem, San Francisco Ballet, Houston Ballet, Ballet West, Oklahoma City Ballet, and the Artistic Ventures in Dance (AVID).
