Ailey’s Enduring Exuberance
Few modern dance visionaries have succeeded in
fulfilling
the art form’s founding promises as completely as Alvin Ailey. Founded
in 1958, the company continues to draw huge audiences around the
globe.
The Alvin Ailey American Dance Theater, led by Judith Jamison, returns
to McCarter Theater for three performances Monday through Wednesday,
May 7, 8, and 9 (609-258-2787).
Ailey’s signature and rapturous work, "Revelations," which
dates back to 1960, is promised on all three McCarter programs.
On the company’s last visit to Princeton, Ailey dancer Solange Sandy
Groves told U.S. 1 that "Revelations" is one ballet she never
tires of performing. "You might be tired when you look up into
the lights during the `I Been ‘Buked’ opening, but you’re lifted up
and you forget all of that. Alvin Ailey lives in that ballet, and
you are energized to go on — it’s a quiet indescribable moment.
Before the `Yellow Section’ of the dance, Miss Jamison always comes
on stage and talks to us. She says, `Let’s take these people to
church.’
You transport these people, and you become transported also. It’s
magic really. Plain and simple."
