Alvin Ailey American Dance Theater
United States
Приєднався 14 сер 2007
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 23 million people at theaters in 48 states and 71 countries on six continents -- as well as millions more through television broadcasts. The company has earned a reputation as one of the most acclaimed international ambassadors of American culture, promoting the uniqueness of the African American cultural experience and the preservation and enrichment of the American modern dance.
Memoria by Alvin Ailey
Alvin Ailey’s Memoria is a deeply personal work and one of his most affecting. Mr. Ailey said that nearly all of his dances had some basis in a relationship, feeling or event that he experienced. In the case of Memoria, choreographed in 1979, his motivation was the death of his dear friend and colleague, Joyce Trisler.
He dedicated the ballet “to the joy…the beauty…the creativity…and the wild spirit of my friend” and set it to the sublime music of jazz pianist Keith Jarrett. It “has the beating heart that made the man and his company American treasures,” praised The New York Times.
Ailey admitted that creating Memoria was a wrenching experience for him, and the pain of his loss is evident in the ballet’s first section, “In Memory,” in which a solo woman is often isolated even while surrounded by couples and two male attendants. Yet the mood of the second section, “In Celebration,” transcends that sorrow, ending in a joyous emotional crescendo.

CENTURY by Amy Hall Garner

my Hall Garner’s first work for Ailey is a deeply personal piece inspired by her grandfather on the eve of his 100th birthday. Taking a cue from the spirited essence with which he lives, CENTURY is a celebration of life, resilience, and joy-a pure dance work set to the music of Ray Charles, Count Basie, The Dirty Dozen Brass Band, and more.

個人的な事で申し上げないのですが、昔昔アメリカにアルビンエイリーアメリカンダンスセンターにダンス留学していました。ちょっとアクシデントがあり急遽日本に帰国して療養をしていました。アルビンエイリー舞踊団とても大好きでした、私個人としては、アルビンエイリー舞踊団のプリシンバルはDonna wood のcryです😂ありがとう(*^^*)ございました。
astounding; Thank you Alvin Ailey and Company!
Hope you are amazing! Thank you for this.

I have seen Judith perform this. She was exquisite. I recently looked up the lyrics to the songs used, and "Been on a Train," is about a man's fatal OD. Interesting.
Beautiful ❤️

Thank you Alvin Ailey for this wonderful, joyful thing!!
God’s supernatural choreography through Alvin Ailey.
Has blown me away completely, thank you so much
Go Liz! I wanted to see this live this Dec but missed it. So glad to see this excerpt here. Do your thing, Liz! (Duane)
Great score (this is the finale to a 90 minute ballet “The Catherine Wheel”) by Talking Heads’ David Byrne. But this version seems calm and plodding compared to the super energetic and amazing version danced by her company in the 1983 film of the entire ballet.
I read this at school
This must be so seductive and sensitive live. The video is beautiful.
Incredible!
Awesome
茶谷さん、あなたの様に歳を重ねて生きて行きたい❤
