Internationally acclaimed Garth Fagan Dance returns to The Joyce Theater with two dynamic world premieres and three vibrant revivals from the company’s rich archive. The new works include The North Star by Garth Fagan – a celebration of the life of Frederick Douglass on the bicentennial of his birth – and an impressionistic work, Distant Kin, set to electronic music and choreographed by 40 year veteran Norwood Pennewell.  The program includes In Memoriam, created in 2001 as a moving tribute to the victims and families of 9/11, and to the influential lives recently lost: Aretha Franklin, John McCain, Arthur Mitchell, and Paul Taylor. ​
