“The revolution might not have been televised, but it was choreographed.”
—Washington Post
For more than half a century, the Joffrey Ballet has been “America’s Company of Firsts”: the first dance company to perform at the White House; the first to appear on television; the first American company to visit Russia; the first classical dance company to use multimedia; the first to commission a rock ‘n’ roll ballet; the first, and only, dance company to appear on the cover of TIME magazine, and the first company to be the subject of a major motion picture, Robert Altman’s The Company. Now, the Joffrey Ballet makes their first Flynn appearance in a performance of Kurt Jooss’ The Green Table (1932), an expressionist anti-war work that was equivalent to a warning against the clouds darkening over Europe. The company also performs two contemporary works, Christopher Wheeldon’s After the Rain and a brand new piece by Houston Ballet’s superstar, Stanton Welch.
Please Note: Pistols with blanks will be fired on stage during the performance of The Green Table.
This performance is funded in part by an award from the
National Endowment for the Arts.
This performance is supported by endowments initiated through challenge grants from the
Ford,
Argosy, and
Doris Duke Charitable foundations and matched by generous support from the community; by the
Capezio Ballet Makers Dance Foundation; and by
Andrea's Legacy Fund, used to protect and maintain the Flynn's performing arts and education programs.
