Alvin Ailey American Dance Theater: Season Preview with Robert Battle and Jamar Roberts
Sunday, November 14, 7:30 pm
Ahead of Alvin Ailey American Dance Theater's return to their home stage at New York City Center, Artistic Director Robert Battle, celebrating his tenth anniversary with the company, will participate in a discussion with dancer and resident choreographer Jamar Roberts prior to Roberts's farewell performance. Moderated by filmmaker Jamila Wignot (director of the acclaimed documentary AILEY), the conversation will illuminate Battle's and Roberts's choreography and the process of adapting dance from film to the stage. The newly appointed artistic director of Ailey II, Francesca Harper, will also join the discussion to share her story and vision for Ailey II. The company's acclaimed dancers will perform highlights from Battle's For Four, ahead of its premiere, capturing the pent-up energy of a world cooped up during the pandemic. Also featured will be excerpts from Roberts's Holding Space, a work about healing and the quest for sustainable pathways towards wholeness. Highlights from digital works will be screened, including Roberts's A Chronicle of a Pivot at a Point in Time, commissioned by Works & Process for premiere in 2022 at the Guggenheim.

Dance Theatre of Harlem: Higher Ground by Robert Garland, music by Stevie Wonder
Monday, November 15, 7:30 pm
In 1971 Dance Theatre of Harlem (DTH) made its official New York debut in the Guggenheim's rotunda. As part of the re-opening of the Peter B. Lewis Theater after its closure due to the pandemic, DTH will return to Works & Process this fall with highlights from Resident Choreographer Robert Garland's Higher Ground, set to a selection of songs by Stevie Wonder. Initially intended to premiere just days ahead of the shutdown in March 2020, Higher Ground will now premiere in Detroit and later come to New York in spring 2022 at City Center Dance Festival. As part of this special preview at the Guggenheim, Imani Perry, the Hughes-Rogers Professor of African American Studies at Princeton University, will moderate a conversation with Garland. Company dancers will perform highlights, and join the discussion to share how their own understanding of Higher Ground and Stevie Wonder's music has transformed over the past 18 months.

"In Higher Ground Mr. Garland has created something rare in classical dance: a ballet with a message. Seen during a rehearsal just days before the citywide shutdown, it is a marvel of a work that shows off Mr. Garland's many choreographic gifts, from his sparkling musicality to his ability to seamlessly weave classical ballet with influences from modern and social dance." – The New York Times
