Parsons Dance

Wed Apr 29 - Sun May 10

Applauded for its joyful performances, Parsons Dance highlights its dancers’ high-energy athleticism and artistic virtuosity with an exciting lineup of works by some of today’s hottest choreographers performed alongside repertory classics.

Audiences will have the chance to experience two world premieres: one created by David Parsons, set to the second movement of Beethoven’s Symphony No. 9; and one by Mayte Natalio, with an original score by Daniel Kluger. Also on the program: a new co-commission with Works & Process by Courtney "Balenciaga" Washington centering on the dancers’ remarkable collective strength. 

Two Parsons classics return to The Joyce stage: Caught and Nascimento Novo, a 2006 collaboration between David Parsons and legendary musical artist Milton Nascimento that draws on his band’s percussionists to produce sounds rarely heard outside Brazil.
