Echoing Bach’s ‘Partitas for Solo Violin’, the work traces a dialogue between rigor and freedom, structure and emotion, the earthly and the divine. Through movement that flows like sound, it reflects on how everything can shift, disappear, or begin again in the blink of an eye.}

The Holy Blues 
Conceived and Directed by Jawole Willa Jo Zollar in collaboration with choreographers Samantha Figgins, and Chalvar Monteiro

Assistant Director: Vincent E. Thomas
Collaborative Dramaturg: Cheri L. Stokes
Music by Various Artists
Costumes by Jon Taylor
Lighting by Yi-Chung Chen
Scenic Design by Joseph Anthony Gaito

<sub>“My roots are also in the Gospel church, the Gospel churches of the south   
where I grew up…holy blues—paeans to joy, anthems to the human spirit.”  
-Alvin Ailey

“…But I want to talk about the blues not only because they speak of this particular experience of life that manages to make this experience articulate. I am engaged, then, in a discussion of craft or, to use a very dangerous word, art. And I want to suggest that the acceptance of this anguish one finds in the blues, and expression of it, creates also, however odd this may sound, a kind of joy.”  
-James Baldwin</sub>

The Holy Blues 
Conceived and Directed by Jawole Willa Jo Zollar in collaboration with choreographers Samantha Figgins, and Chalvar Monteiro

Assistant Director: Vincent E. Thomas
Collaborative Dramaturg: Cheri L. Stokes
Music by Various Artists
Costumes by Jon Taylor
Lighting by Yi-Chung Chen
Scenic Design by Joseph Anthony Gaito

<sub>“My roots are also in the Gospel church, the Gospel churches of the south   
where I grew up…holy blues—paeans to joy, anthems to the human spirit.”  
-Alvin Ailey

“…But I want to talk about the blues not only because they speak of this particular experience of life that manages to make this experience articulate. I am engaged, then, in a discussion of craft or, to use a very dangerous word, art. And I want to suggest that the acceptance of this anguish one finds in the blues, and expression of it, creates also, however odd this may sound, a kind of joy.”  
-James Baldwin</sub>

_{The world premiere of The Holy Blues is supported by Crawford Parker, M.D. and The Kansas City Friends of Alvin Ailey - Sara & Bill Morgan New Works Endowment Fund.}

Blink of an Eye by Medhi Walerski

Staged by Valentina Scaglia
Music by Johann Sebastian Bach, performed by Itzhak Perlman
Costumes by Medhi Walerski
Costumes redesigned by Jon Taylor
Original Lighting by Nicole Pearce

_{A moment—brief yet infinite. Blink of an Eye explores the fragile boundary between presence and absence, change and stillness. Echoing Bach’s ‘Partitas for Solo Violin’, the work traces a dialogue between rigor and freedom, structure and emotion, the earthly and the divine. Through movement that flows like sound, it reflects on how everything can shift, disappear, or begin again in the blink of an eye.}

Caroline T. Dartey, Ashley Kaylynn Green, Hannah Alissa Richardson, Dandara Veiga, Mason Evans, Jesse Obremski, Christopher Taylor, Christopher R. Wilson

_{The company premiere of Blink of an Eye is supported by commissioning funds from New York City Center.
Blink of an Eye was also made possible with support by Leanne Lachman.}
