Armitage Gone! Dance

Karole Armitage and her stunning post‐modern ballet company, Armitage Gone! Dance return to The Joyce for a two‐week engagement, presenting two programs revealing her unique sensibility that at once embraces classical values and, as reflected in her Tony‐nominated choreography for Hair, then knocks them askew. Program A is comprised of three works, Drastic‐Classicism performed to Rhys Chatham's clangorous score; the deeply‐loved and lyrical Ligeti Essays; and a new collaborative work with the re‐emerging Dance Theater of Harlem. Program B is devoted to the mesmerizing Three Theories, described as "brainy brilliance translate[d]into exquisite extensions of the dance vocabulary."
