The New York Times - Forgotten Score Opens an Unexplored World
Alvin Ailey American Dance Theater showed that a popular song, no matter how beloved, can kill a dance, and that a forgotten score can inspire a choreographer to explore an unfamiliar world. Continuing its season at the David H. Koch Theater on Wednesday, the company bookended two works by its founder -- "Night Creature," led by a beaming Hope Boykin, and "Revelations" -- with a restaging of a duet and a new production of a powerful group work.
