The grace of a woman searching—tomorrow’s ground is uncertain. What happens when dawn comes? As a dancer, teacher, and choreographer, Christopher L. Huggins has worked in five European countries, Japan, and throughout the US. Described byThe Village Voice as “a precise, aggressive style,” Huggins’ choreography draws the audience in and keeps them wanting more. When Dawn Comes… was choreographed especially for Ailey II and is boldly set to the music of Jeff Story and Rachel Grimes.
