Dance Theatre of Harlem presents New York premieres by William Forsythe and Tiffany Rea-Fisher, George Balanchine’s “Allegro Brillante,” and works by Resident Choreographer Robert Garland at New York City Center in Midtown, Manhattan, Wednesday-Sunday, April 19-23, 2023. From $35. 🌍🇺🇸🇧🇷🇨🇺🇭🇹

William Forsythe’s “Blake Works IV” is the latest iteration of the choreographer’s continual evolution. He is best known for his work with the Ballet Frankfurt and his own Forsythe Company (now Dresden Frankfurt Dance Company). @william_forsythe_

Tiffany Rea-Fisher’s “The Barre Project” is a new ballet set to an original score by New York DJ and composer Erica Blunt (Twelve45). It is inspired by Classical and Jazz musician and civil rights activist Hazel Scott. Rea-Fisher is the Executive Artistic Director of EMERGE125, a National Dance Project Award winner, 2021 & 2022 Toulmin Fellow, and John Brown Spirit award winner. She teaches Ballet at NYU and curates the wonderful Bryant Park Dance Summer Series. @treafisher @twelve45_

The company bids farewell to Artistic Director Virginia Johnson with her favorite Balanchine ballet, “Allegro Brillante.” The ballet’s title means “Brilliant Joy” which is the most concise description of Dance Theatre of Harlem. @virginia_johnsondth
