Dancemakers Centre for Creation Choreographic Lab Showing with

Yvonne Ng
and monitor Tony Chong

It’s snowing at Dancemakers, outside and in.

Yvonne's second and final showing of her work-in-progress
Friday, February 16 at 7 pm $10

Last night Yvonne had a dream: driving through the snow, looking for the dancers, she could only see blood. Something about cleaning up our own backyards before helping others. She is filled with anxiety now, every second in the studio is focused and her monitor Tony Chong is pushing her to stay on the road, despite the snow.


Yvonne says she has the essence now but wants to make a cohesive statement by Friday. Distilling. Focusing on the relationships. Where will this all lead? Come out from under the snow and find out.

Back after 10 years!
ALVIN AILEY AMERICAN DANCE THEATER

IN CELEBRATION OF BLACK HISTORY MONTH

FEBRUARY 16 – 17 ONLY
The Hummingbird Centre for the Performing Arts


"There are moments when you watch the Alvin Ailey American Dance Theater and begin to believe that the figures on stage are not quite real. The human body can't really move like that… defies human limits." - Chicago Sun-Times

TORONTO, Ontario – For more than 45 years, Alvin Ailey American Dance Theater has dazzled audiences from New York City to South Africa to China with unparalleled artistry. After a long awaited return, Alvin Ailey American Dance Theater is back at The Hummingbird Centre for the Performing Arts for three performances only from February 16 – 17, 2007.

Through captivating performances and unparalleled artistry, the Alvin Ailey American Dance Theater has been fulfilling Alvin Ailey’s vision that “dance is for everybody… dance came from the people and it should always be delivered back to the people.” From jazz-inspired works and intimate portraits to explosive epics teeming with passion, “one cannot deny the genius behind Ailey’s…stirring eloquence,” says the Washington Post.

Led by Artistic Director Judith Jamison, this magnificent company celebrates an exhilarating performance, drawing inspiration from a variety of experiences - life’s joy, sorrows, passions, beauty and ultimate truths. Their unmistakable style and unsurpassed talent, continue to leave audiences breathless.

Alvin Ailey American Dance Theater will perform several works from its classic repertory–including Revelations, Ailey’s signature masterpiece that explores African American spirituals, encompassing songs of love, struggle, and deliverance. The engagement will also include new dances by some of today’s most exciting, daring, and visionary choreographers.


Tickets can be purchased through Ticketmaster by calling 416-872-2262 or by visiting www.ticketmaster.ca <http://www.ticketmaster.ca/> , or in person at The Hummingbird Centre Box Office, 1 Front Street East, Toronto GROUPS of 10 or more call: 416-393-7463 or 1-866-737-0805
