Details
Featuring Train, a company-premiere by guest choreographer Robert Battle, former Artistic Director of Alvin Ailey American Dance Theatre and current Resident Choreographer of the Paul Taylor Dance Company.
Train is a three-part abstract ritual set to a percussive live recording. The ritual reflects the dancers’ lives on stage. The beat and rhythm of the procession connect the dancers, while the pulse acts as the heartbeat, flowing from one dancer to another. Train showcases the dancers as warriors, highlighting their constant rising and falling.
ARRESTING MOMENTUM will also feature a world premiere by Christel DeHaan Artistic Director Joshua Blake Carter and a second world premiere by the 2025/26 Jaffee and Hall Emerging Choreographer Christa Smutek.
