Limón Dance Company
Program
Concerto Grosso
Chaconne
Corvidae
The Exiles
The Moor’s Pavane
Hailed as one of the world’s greatest dance companies, the Limón Dance Company has been at the vanguard of American Modern dance since its inception in 1946. The Company is the living legacy of dance theater developed by José Limón and his mentors, Doris Humphrey and Charles Weidman, whose innovative works revolutionized American dance. After Limón’s death in 1972, the Company pioneered the idea that it was possible to survive the death of its founder, setting an example for the entire dance field. Now in its 70th year, the Company is renowned for its technical mastery and dramatic expression, and demonstrates both the timelessness of José Limón’s works and the humanistic vision that guides the
repertory choices.
“For drama, virtuosity, and grace, there’s no finer company.” - The Village Voice
Running time: 85 minutes, with one intermission.
