Cal Performances

The great American choreographer Alvin Ailey famously said, "I believe that the dance came from the people and that it should always be delivered back to the people." And his glorious company of dancers has done just that, over more than 50 years of memorable performances. The company returns for its first appearances under the artistic direction of the superb choreographer Robert Battle, the hand-picked successor to Judith Jamison, who has said, "choosing Robert Battle is the giant leap I want to take to ensure that this company stays vibrant in the future." Audiences can confidently expect a continuation of the great Ailey legacy, with programs of company classics, thrilling work new to the Bay Area, and the legendary Revelations.
