Continuing a 55-year relationship with Cal Performances, the Alvin Ailey American Dance Theater returns to the Berkeley campus for the company’s annual residency with a selection of recent works and Ailey masterpieces. Steeped in the sounds of jazz, blues, and hip-hop, the Ailey repertory celebrates the Black American experience, offering music and movement as expressions of pure joy and as opportunities for reflection and resistance. Past favorites and new works come alive through the commitment and artistry of the company’s athletic, expressive dancers, who inhabit choreography by creators like Rennie Harris, Aszure Barton, Twyla Tharp, Jamar Roberts, and Artistic Director Robert Battle with the same conviction as they reinvent classic Ailey works like Revelations.

Skeleton Flower is a semi-autobiographical exploration of complex struggles with identity, depression, childhood trauma, and the awakening of personal power. Degenerate Art Ensemble confronts these issues with humor and imagination—casting family as monsters from a Godzilla movie—and traces personal struggle through three fairy tales. Existing at the intersection of live music, visceral movement theater, dance, projected cinematic imagery, storytelling, and ritual, Skeleton Flower is a multi-dimensional patchwork quilt that conjures and consoles female ancestors through hand felted wools, ten thousand hand painted silk flowers, and knitted sweaters which fill fantastic worlds in the work’s cinematic imagery.

Degenerate Art Ensemble makes work inspired by punk, protest, comics, nightmares and fairytales driven by the power of live music and their own style of visceral movement theater and dance. The group has shown their work throughout the US and Europe known for their large scale dance and theater projects, concerts, site-transforming spectacles and ongoing public experimentation. Recent highlights of the group's work include a major exhibition at the Frye Art Museum, a commission by director Robert Wilson to interpret his work Einstein on the Beach and collaboration with the Kronos Quartet. Skeleton Flower has been shown in Plovdiv, Bulgaria, Seattle, Mexico City and Odense, Denmark.

Made possible with funding from 4Culture and the Seattle Mayor's Office of Arts. Video production made possible by Zoobreak Productions.

Love is all-consuming for Anna, who is married but finds herself caught in the maelstrom of a lifechanging love affair with the dashing Count Vronsky. The dancers of the Joffrey Ballet return to Berkeley with Anna Karenina, full-length story ballet choreographed by Yuri Possokhov and featuring an original score by award-winning composer Ilya Demutsky, performed live by the Berkeley Symphony. When it premiered in 2019, the ballet won the “Oscars of Dance,” the Benois de la Danse International Prize for Best Choreography.

In this double-bill production, the Bay Area premiere of Pina Bausch’s The Rite of Spring is performed by an ensemble of more than 30 dancers from 14 African countries and assembled through a collaboration between the Pina Bausch Foundation, École des Sables, and Sadler’s Wells. Stravinsky’s score takes on new meaning through visceral choreography as a “chosen one” is sacrificed.

The companion piece common ground[s], also in its Bay Area premiere, is a new duet co-created and danced by two septuagenarians—Germaine Acogny, known as the “mother of African contemporary dance,” and Malou Airaudo, a longtime dancer with the Tanztheater Wuppertal Pina Bausch.

The Brooklyn-based performance ensemble Urban Bush Women visits for the Bay Area premiere of Hair & Other Stories, a full-length dance-theater work exploring race, identity, and concepts of beauty through the lens of Black women’s hair. Inspired by founder and 2021 MacArthur Fellow Jawole Willa Jo Zollar’s HairStories (2001), the participatory performance is a work of activism, awakening, and engagement, asking the audience to move, to comment, to reflect, and to bear witness. Choreographed and directed by co-artistic directors Chanon Judson and Mame Diarra Speis, Hair & Other Stories was developed from personal narratives gathered from participants at “Hair Party” sessions the company held with women across the country, as well as through the company’s ongoing collaboration with the People’s Institute for Survival and Beyond’s “Undoing Racism” workshops.
