Description: Alvin Ailey American Dance Theater, beloved as one of the world’s most popular dance companies, will present 15 performances at Lincoln Center’s David H. Koch Theater from June 11 to June 22, 2014.  Led by Artistic Director Robert Battle, Ailey’s acclaimed dancers will perform in four distinct programs of exciting repertory, including a world premiere from Robert Moses – a first-time collaboration with the Company – the company premiere of Asadata Dafora’s groundbreaking 1932 solo, Awassa Astrige/Ostrich, and new productions of Hans van Manen’s Polish Pieces and David Parsons’ signature breathtaking work Caught. Encore performances of 2013-14 season premieres and new productions such as Wayne McGregor’s Chroma, and an “Ailey/Ellington” program, as well as Alvin Ailey’s must-see American masterpiece Revelations will give the Company’s dancers many more ways to inspire!
