Crossing Ashland
Choreography: Brock Clawson
Music: John Adams, Michelle McLaughlin, Martin Tillman, M83, Jeremy Limb
Named for the well-known Chicago street, Crossing Ashland is a metaphor for facing change within us. With amazingly intertwined movement mixed with the mundaneness of urban pedestrians, the ballet explores vulnerability and the yearning for connection that exists in the human race.
Joffrey Premiere
Episode 31
Choreography: Alexander Ekman
An energetic playground, Episode 31 brings a youthful approach to dance with a strong sense of humor–contrasting pumping, almost tribal sequences with strong balletic poses that show off the dancers’ youth and vigor. Episode 31 begins with a multimedia production embracing the Joffrey and Chicago.
