Company at Center of Alwin Nikolais Centennial
The reconstruction of Kaleidoscope (1956) in August/September 2009 marked the beginning of the two-year, two-continent Alwin Nikolais centennial. Along with other seminal works by this National Treasure, Kaleidoscope will be presented in New York City in May 2010 with outreach components that include an inner-city school matinee and, later, an exhibit at the New York Library for the Performing Arts at Lincoln Center under the direction of Nikolais alumni.
As the official repository of Nikolais, we have already taken “Nik’s” magical, black-light youth show The Crystal and the Sphere to France. Jena Woodbury, Associate Managing Director/Touring Manager, reports that the Company performed for over 19,000 people in less than a month. Rare as it is for European presenters to book children’s shows from overseas, the dancers performed 33 shows in five different cities, during 18 performance days. “It is a fantastic way to start the two-year Centennial, says Jena, “and we expect to be closing the celebration in Europe as well in the summer of 2011.”
If you're in New York City the week of May 3, 2010, join us at the Joyce. You can get updates/itinerary on the Centennial by visiting our Touring Webpage. Your donations can help fund Ririe-Woodbury’s May appearance in New York.
Congratulations Caine Keenan
