Here is your first look at Alvin Ailey American Dance Theater's company premiere of Medhi Walerski's 'Blink of an Eye'. 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. | Alvin Ailey American Dance Theater

Alvin Ailey's 'The River' is the only score Duke Ellington created specifically for dance. Originally comissioned for American Ballet Theatre in 1970, the two collaborated on the work. Although Mr. Ailey began as a modern dancer, the choreography of this piece shows how much he loved and admired classical ballet.
