In its 7th NYC Fall Season, Alison Cook Beatty Dance presents:

ARTISTS IN MOTION 2019
Alison Cook Beatty Dance & Guest Artists
Honored Guest Ms. Graciela Kozak

This performance series, Artists In Motion, featuring two world premieres, live music, and numerous guest artists, combines Artistic Director Alison Cook-Beatty’s interest in using dance to explore the human condition with her drive to create community-centered collaborations with other artists. In two different programs across four nights, dancers from around the world will join Alison Cook Beatty Dance to present reflections on universal aspects of humanity—such as love in the romantic duet LIFELINE; the struggle to get ahead in BEHIND THE CURVE; and even the very nature of the id, ego, and superego in the pas de trois SEELE.
