Parsons dancers are gearing up for another fantastic New York City season when we take the Joyce stage from May 14 through 25 with three world premieres:
The Shape of Us, created by David Parsons and set to music by Son Lux, the experimental group led by Ryan Lott that received an Oscar nomination for its soundtrack for 2023 Academy Award winner Everything All at Once.
Thick As Thieves, created by Penny Saunders and set to a rhythmic musical score by Michael Wall, performed live and described by Saunders as “mischievous, mysterious, and fun.”
Juke, created by Jamar Roberts, set to Spanish Key, a piece composed by jazz legend Miles Davis that appeared on his 1970 seminal album, Bitches Brew.
Rounding out the program are revered repertory works--Caught and Whirlaway, along with Takademe, a solo created by Robert Battle in 1999 when he was a company dancer.
