Overview

No season would be complete without a return visit by the incomparable Alvin Ailey American Dance Theater, perhaps the most acclaimed international ambassador of American culture performing today. Under the inspired leadership of artistic director Robert Battle, the ensemble continues to confirm what dance lovers worldwide have long known—that in terms of unparalleled artistry, athletic strength, and boundless passion, nothing beats the Ailey. Building upon the "big, big wow" (San Jose Mercury News) of its 2012 appearances, the company's 2013 Berkeley residency promises wide-ranging programs packed with Ailey classics—including the "divinely timeless, rousing, and radiant" Revelations (Atlanta Journal-Constitution)—and works by today's most exciting choreographers.
