A premiere from Alexei Ratmansky leads a collection of contemporary movement
A world premiere from Artist in Residence Alexei Ratmansky leads an evening celebrating dancemakers at work today. The company’s Resident Choreographer, Justin Peck, is represented by two contrasting works: Dig the Say, a playful pas de deux in which the dancers engage in challenging, competitive solos, occasionally exchanging a red rubber ball, and the expansive Everywhere We Go, which has become one of the choreographer’s most popular works, a vibrant ballet for 25 dancers set to music by Peck’s frequent collaborator Sufjan Stevens, with whom he created the acclaimed, Tony-winning musical Illinoise. Rounding out the program is Gianna Reisen’s Signs, a ballet for five couples that matches the quiet lyricism of the solo piano score by Philip Glass.
