Parsons Dance

Tue May 13 - Sat May 24

Parsons Dance arrives at The Joyce exhibiting the company's joyous spirit, athletic prowess, and virtuosic moves to music that have delighted audiences for nearly four decades. The eclectic program includes cherished David Parsons works like In The End, set to music by the Dave Matthews Band; Wolfgang, named for its Mozart score and praised by The New York Times for its “muscular partnering and spiraling turns;” and the iconic Caught.  Highlighting the program: a Rena Butler world premiere created in collaboration with composer Darryl J. Hoffman, and Robert Battle’s The Hunt, set to a pounding soundtrack by Les Tambours du Bronx, the celebrated French percussion band.
