Strength, precision, and passion remain the hallmarks of the Alvin Ailey American Dance Theater more than 65 years after its inception. The company’s legendary dancers return to Berkeley with vibrant programs of new and classic works that showcase and synthesize a dazzling range of cultural influences, from spirituals and church hymns, jazz, R&B, and hip-hop, to African dance and classical ballet. Many of the earliest Ailey works and the newest company creations share a common focus: illuminating the rich panorama of Black American experience.
Live audio descriptions for blind and visually impaired audience members are available for the Saturday, April 12 performance. Headsets may be reserved by contacting the Cal Performances Ticket Office at (510) 642-9988 or [email protected].
