Twilight Tuesday: NJPAC Alvin Ailey Presentation The HCCC Department of Cultural Affairs continues our partnership with the New Jersey Performing Arts Center (NJPAC) with an Alvin Ailey American Dance Theater workshop presented by their Department of Community Engagement on Tuesday, April 10 from 5:30 to 7:30 pm in the Dineen & Hull Gallery Atrium. The program is open to the entire Hudson County community with no charge for admission. Attendees should wear comfortable clothing and shoes and be prepared to participate in the dance demonstration. Children under 18 must be accompanied by an adult.
NJPAC teaching artist Theara Ward will present a short film and talk on the Alvin Ailey Dance Company followed by a dance demonstration featuring trademark movements from Ailey’s signature ballet Revelations. When Mr. Ailey began creating dances, he drew upon his "blood memories" of Texas, the blues, spirituals, and gospel as inspiration, which resulted in the creation of his most popular and critically acclaimed work, Revelations.
Alvin Ailey American Dance Theater grew from a now-fabled performance in March 1958 at the 92nd Street Y in New York City. Led by Alvin Ailey and a group of young African-American modern dancers, that performance changed forever the perception of American dance. The Ailey company has gone on to perform for an estimated 25 million people at theaters in 48 states and 71 countries on six continents – as well as millions more through television broadcasts, film screenings, and online platforms.
This event is part of our “Twilight Tuesdays” series which includes artist receptions, faculty mixers, author readings, workshops and more.
