About the Program

Alvin Ailey American Dance Theater
JUDITH JAMISON, Artistic Director
Masazumi Chaya, Associate Artistic Director
 
"A company that clearly believes that dance is a gift to be shared with the audience"
--The New York Times
 
"Its never-fail dependability--superlative dancers, tight, driving works--is surely unbeaten in the dance world."
--The Washington Post
 
Named America's Cultural Ambassador to the World, Alvin Ailey American Dance Theater has for more than 50 years brought African American cultural expression and the American modern dance tradition to audiences around the globe. The genius of Alvin Ailey changed forever the perception of American dance; today, the legacy continues with Judith Jamison's remarkable vision and the extraordinary artistry of the Company's dancers. This season celebrates Judith Jamison's 20th anniversary as artistic director.
 
Revelations, Alvin Ailey's "ever-touching" and "enduring megahit" (The Washington Post), is featured in the company's week of mixed programs in 2010, which promise other audience favorites and new works by today's most inventive choreographers.
