The Joyce Theater


The Graham Company opens their two-week season at the Joyce highlighting the sculptural and architectural aspects of choreography by Graham and others, plus premieres by guest choreographers in three diverse programs titled Shape&Design.   The Shape&Design season features Graham classics Panorama and Chronicle (dances from 1935–36), Errand into the Maze (1947) and Embattled Garden (1958), with sets by sculptor Isamu Noguchi, Frontier (1935), Diversion of Angels (1948), and an excerpt from Primitive Mysteries (1931), At Summer’s Full and Letter to the World. Graham’s pioneering shape and gestures will also be represented by the solos Satyric Festival Song (1932) and Deep Song (1937). Guest artists Misty Copeland and Herman Cornejo will dance principal roles in At Summer’s Full on opening night. Graham’s iconic solo Lamentation (1930) has been re-imagined by choreographers Kyle Abraham, Michelle Dorrance, Liz Gerring, and Sonya Tayeh in celebration of the 85th anniversary of the work.  Recent works by Annie-B Parson, Nacho Duato, and Andonis Foniadakis will round out the programs. The architect Frank Gehry will create projected images that interact with one of Graham’s most architectural works, Steps in the Street (1936). Each program will open with a short film by photographer, designer, and image-maker Peter Arnell, featuring dancers from the current Graham Company. Find out more here
