We loved connecting to New York City audiences during our annual Joyce season and thank so many of you who saw us perform. The two weeks were filled with three world premieres, a lively family matinee, and, as part of our outreach initiatives, a special sensory friendly show featuring modified lights and sounds and designated play and quiet spaces.
After rest, rehearsals, and more New York City based activity, the company will take to the road again in early August when it will make stops in Santa Fe and Aspen before heading to Jacob’s Pillow for the first time in 25 years! Running from August 7-11 at the Pillow’s fabulous Ted Shawn Theatre, the Parsons appearance will feature classic pieces like Swing Shift and Nascimento, along with the duet from Finding Center, featuring art work by Rita Blitt. Another program highlight—Jamar Roberts’ Juke, fresh from its world premiere at The Joyce.
Following the Pillow appearance, the company takes off for an exciting tour through Brazil from August 14 through 25 to perform seven shows across four cities: São Paulo, Curitiba, Porto Alegre, and Rio de Janeiro. Stay tuned for more information about the program, and please consider meeting us on the road!
