Event Details

Led by dance icons Dwight Rhoden and Desmond Richardson, Complexions Contemporary Ballet, celebrating its 30th Anniversary, has awakened audiences to a new, exciting genre with their singular approach of reinventing dance and contemporary ballet. Armed with a rich Alvin Ailey lineage and a cadre of 16 stunning dancers, Complexions has been hailed as a “matchless American dance company” by the Philadelphia Inquirer and “game changing” by London’s The Guardian. On the evening's program will be For Crying Out Loud, Dwight Rhoden’s brand-new work set to U2's greatest hits performed acoustically.

Dance performances are made possible, in part, by the Eric and Sandy Krasnoff Dance Endowment.
