From Broadway to Hollywood, television, and American Ballet Theatre, Twyla Tharp has virtually done it all. Lately— and lucky for us—she’s been returning to the concert stage with her own troupe of truly stellar dancers, masters of her quicksilver, musical movement.

In a program illustrating her unbridled talent and broad artistic range, Tharp presents the world premiere of DYLAN LOVE SONGS, a piece exploring love’s give and take, set to the elegiac music of Bob Dylan. She also brings back her 1970 gem, The Fugue, which derives its rigorous form from Bach’s “The Musical Offering.”

Lead support for The Joyce’s presentation of Twyla Tharp Dance generously provided by Stephen and Cathy Weinroth.

like the accompanying music by acclaimed composer Esa-Pekka Salonen, a fellow Finn. The stunning set and

awaited return to The Joyce with Morphed, a work bursting with strong masculine energy. Performed by seven men who explore themes of change and sensuality, the piece exhibits Saarinen's fascinating choreography, ranging from the brutally aggressive to the meditatively soft and minimalistic, much

Compagnie Maguy Marin BiT OCT 25–29 Wed 7:30pm Thu–Sat 8pm Sun 2pm

C U R TA I N C H AT Thu, Oct 26

For over 40 years, Maguy Marin has astounded international audiences with her arresting choreographic vision. This season, her company takes the stage to perform BiT, a chilling and confrontational work for six dancers who careen through space, shifting from ecstatic celebration to frenzied scurry. With BiT, Marin investigates how each step a person takes combines to create a unique rhythmic imprint. And if each person’s rhythm is distinct, being together can sound like a chorus or like cacophony. As always, Marin gives us both the bitter and the sweet, the melody and the noise, and she doesn’t apologize for it but “dares to show us her uncompromising truth” (The New York Times).

Trigger warning: this performance contains nudity and sexual violence and is not recommended for those under 18 years of age.

On tap are two works by the innovative British choreographer David Dawson, including 5, a quintet of virtuoso dancing from his acclaimed Giselle, and On the Nature of Daylight, a stirring piece set to music by Max Richter.

Rounding out the program is the potent Vertigo Maze by Belgian choreographer Stijn Celis, and a world premiere by New York-born, School of American Ballet-trained company member Joseph Hernandez, whose highly theatrical work exudes humor and emotion.

Also on the program— enticing revivals from the company’s rich archive.

Liz Gerring Dance Company Horizon N OV 3 0 – D E C 3 Thu–Sat 8pm Sun 2pm

C U R TA I N C H AT Fri, Dec 1

“No other American choreographer alive just now is making movement that so marvelously cleanses the palate the way Liz Gerring’s does,” The New York Times declared about Horizon when the full-length work premiered in 2015 to critical and audience acclaim. With strong, clean, lines and shapes, Horizon focuses on the idea of density. Expansive yet also pristine, the piece takes the form of a constantly shifting universe of activity that emphasizes Gerring’s distinct attunement to space. Performed by seven dancers, Horizon was commissioned

by The Joyce Theater and features production design by multiple award winner Robert Wierzel and a score by longtime collaborator Michael J. Schumacher.

Trisha Brown Dance Company

Sun 2pm

C U R TA I N C H AT Wed, Dec 13 When Trisha Brown died in March 2017, The New York Times paid tribute to her, remarking that “few dance inventors have so combined the cerebral and sensuous sides of dance as Ms. Brown did, and few have been as influential.” Joyce audiences will have the chance to witness the choreographer’s genius played out in lush and heady movement when Trisha Brown Dance Company takes the stage with a program of pivotal works created between 2000 and 2009, the choreographer’s final period of dance making. These dances illuminate Brown’s connection to music: Salvatore Sciarrino’s flute in Geometry of Quiet; Dave Douglas's jazz sounds in Groove and Countermove; and Jean-Philippe Rameau’s baroque opera in L’Amour au théâtre.

FA M I LY M AT I N E E Sat, Jan 20 at 2pm Cuba’s Malpaso Dance Company is made up of some of Havana’s most beguiling young dancers who are “sparklingly present—and remarkable all around” (The New York Times), artists who can be counted on to display a refreshing, contemporary aesthetic—a picture of the new Cuba, in dance form. This season, Malpaso returns with delightful works by Artistic Director Osnel Delgado and the New York premiere of Indomitable Waltz, The Joyce’s recent commission for the troupe created by choreographer Aszure Barton. Set to the music of Alexander Balanescu, Michael Nyman, and Nils Frahm, this mesmerizing piece looks inward, toward the soul.

Support for The Joyce’s presentation of international dance provided by the R. Britton Fisher and Family Gift for International Dance. Indomitable Waltz was made possible by the New England Foundation for the Arts’ National Dance Project, with lead funding from the Doris Duke Charitable Foundation and The Andrew W.

C U R TA I N C H AT Wed, Jan 24

FA M I LY M AT I N E E Sun, Jan 28 at 2pm

This spellbinding French troupe combines hip hop, circus arts, and contemporary dance to thrilling effect. For its Joyce debut, the company performs The Roots, a visually striking work for eleven men that “explodes in your face like a shaken can of soda” (Le Monde). Spectacular and poetic, nostalgic and innovative, the dance looks backward as it glides forward.

Set to music that varies from electronica to Brahms, The Roots delves into the origins of hip hop, but the stellar dancing—which The New York Times called “marvelous in synchronization, skill and fearless exactitude”—is all about the future of this electric form.

FA M I LY M AT I N E E Sun, Feb 4 at 2pm

French-based Compagnie Hervé KOUBI performs What The Day Owes To The Night, a highly physical work for twelve FrenchAlgerian and African dancers.

A Joyce debut, the piece created by French-Algerian choreographer Hervé Koubi was inspired by his father’s deathbed revelation that Koubi’s family originated in Algeria, rather than in France as Koubi had believed.

Exploring the artist’s newfound roots, this work combines capoeira, hip hop, and contemporary dance with powerful imagery evocative of Orientalist paintings—depictions of the Eastern world by European artists. Though thrillingly kinetic, what lingers about the piece is the transcendence of a journey home.

Arcell Cabuag in celebration of Associate Artistic Director Cabaug's 20th year with the company. Other highlights: the company premiere of Dancing Spirit, commissioned by the Alvin Ailey American Dance Theater, Come Ye, March, and the one-night-only revival of Upside Down, an excerpt from Brown’s evening-length work, Destiny.

With Intimo, the troupe continues to push the boundaries of the traditional flamenco format, and as with the dazzling Antigona, from 2015, this new piece draws from the realm of dance theater, while still retaining the integrity of the raw and rapturous art form.

Barrio, whom The New York Times deemed “one of today’s great dancers of any genre,” performs with other brilliant flamenco dancers and musicians, many hailing from Spain.
