Colorful and fanciful, THE CRYSTAL AND THE SPHERE, is the Company's latest performance by dance/theatre wizard Alwin Nikolais. Originally commissioned by the Kennedy Center for its Imagination Celebration, this dance was praised by Anna Kisselgoff of the New York Times noting, "The work was intended for children, but the playful abstractions that make up the Nikolais signature might, in this case, appeal even more to adults."
With such delightful titles as "Waddle Birds," "Outer Space Clown," and "Chess Skaters," this performance will fire the imagination of an audience of all ages.
Ririe-Woodbury Dance Company's historic partnership with the Nikolais/Louis Foundation for Dance (NY) is garnering rave reviews throughout the USA and Europe. The New York Times numbered Ririe-Woodbury Dance Company as one of the 10 best events of the year. This is your chance to see the latest dance first!
