Overview

Seating Announcement

Please note that due to a policy of the company, there will be absolutely no late seating for this production. Patrons arriving after the performance begins will not be able to take their assigned seats until intermission. And familiarize yourself with ongoing campus construction, which effects Zellerbach Hall access and parking.

No season would be complete without a return visit by the incomparable Alvin Ailey American Dance Theater, perhaps the most acclaimed international ambassador of American culture performing today. Under the inspired leadership of artistic director Robert Battle, the ensemble continues to confirm what dance lovers worldwide have long known—that in terms of unparalleled artistry, athletic strength, and boundless passion, nothing beats the Ailey. Building upon the "big, big wow" (San Jose Mercury News) of its 2012 appearances, the company's 2013 Berkeley residency promises wide-ranging programs packed with Ailey classics—including the "divinely timeless, rousing, and radiant" Revelations (Atlanta Journal-Constitution)—and works by today's most exciting choreographers.

Program A (4/23, 4/26, 4/28): Kyle Abraham: Another Night (Bay Area premiere; music: Dizzy Gillespie) • Battle: Strange Humors (Bay Area premiere), In/Side • Jiří Kylián: Petite Mort (music: Mozart) • Ailey: Revelations

Program B (4/24, 4/27 eve): Ronald K. Brown: Grace (music: Ellington, Davis, Kuti) • Naharin: Minus 16 • Ailey: Revelations

Program C (4/25): Garth Fagan: From Before • Harris: Home • Ailey: Pas de Duke, Revelations

Program D (4/27 mat): Ailey Classics, excerpts from eight classic works, including Memoria, Night Creature, and Cry; plus Revelations
