One of the great modern dance companies returns to our mainstage for the first time since 2007!
The Limón Dance Company has been at the vanguard of modern dance since its inception in 1946. LDC was the first modern dance company to perform at Lincoln Center in New York. The company has performed twice at The White House. The José Limón Dance Foundation was the recipient of a 2008 National Medal of the Arts.
José Limón has a special place in American culture for a social awareness that transcended distinct groups in order to address the ways in which we all search for commonality. And it’s in that spirit that the company continues to commission works by critically acclaimed and emerging international voices fifty years after its founder’s passing. Limón’s works continue to influence the evolution of the art form with their arresting visual clarity, theatricality, and rhythmic and musical life.
The program for this performance will include choreographer Olivier Tarpaga’s Only One Will Rise. There will be a post-show question-and-answer session with Artistic Director Dante Puleio.
