ABOUT THE PROGRAM L I M Ó N D A N C E C O M PA N Y M AY 6 -1 9, 2021
The Company’s performance showcases two dances by José Limón which are considered among the 20th Century’s greatest works of modern choreography presented alongside a contemporary new piece Suite Donuts by emerging choreographer, Chafin Seymour. The pairing of these works now seems fortuitous. Recent events which have further raised awareness of social consciousness and racial justice make this group of dances, all the more important today. - Dante Puleio, Artistic Director

ABOUT THE PROGRAM
"A time to keep silence, and a time to speak;" Ty Graynor and Frances Samson "A time to mourn;...and a time to weep;" Lauren Twomley, Jessica Sgambelluri, Savannah Spratt "A time to laugh...a time to dance;" Mariah Gravelin with The Company "A time to embrace, and a time to refrain from embracing;" Mark Willis and Nicholas Ruscica "A time to hate, a time of war;" Savannah Spratt with the Company "A time to love...a time of peace;" Eric Parra with the Company First performed April 20, 1956 at the Juilliard School of Music by the José Limón Dance Company **Special thank you to Raphaël Boumaila for virtually staging excerpts. **Special thank you to Nina Watt for coaching Time to Laugh. The entire work is, both choreographically and musically, a theme with variations. The choreographer used as his theme a large circle, which, at the opening of the work, fills the stage and moves majestically as if to evoke the interminable passage of time. This circle is seen repeatedly in many guises, rhythms and dramatic shapes, always making allusion to the text from Chapter 3 of Ecclesiastes and its evocation of human experience. *MEDITATIONS ON ECCLESIASTES, commiss ioned for José Limón by the Juilliard Music Foundation and its Festival of American Music, April, 1956. This score earned the composer the Pulitzer Prize in 1957. MEDITATIONS ON ECCLESIASTES Copyright 1959 by Carl Fischer, Inc.
ABOUT THE LIMÓN DANCE COMPANY The Limón Dance Company has been at the vanguard of dance since its inception in 1946. The first dance group to tour internationally under the auspices of the State Department, and first modern dance company to perform at Lincoln Center in New York, it has performed twice at The White House. The José Limón Dance Foundation, with Company and Institute, is the recipient of a 2008 National Medal of the Arts. José Limón has a special place in American culture for a social awareness that transcended distinct groups to address how we all search for commonality. More than 40 years after his passing, his works continue to influence the evolution of the art form with their arresting visual clarity, theatricality, and rhythmic and musical life. With a fresh approach to making the classics alive for today, with works of José Limón, Doris Humphrey, Lar Lubovitch, Doug Varone, Donald McKayle, Susanne Linke, Meredith Monk and Jiří Kylián and other luminaries, the Company moves forward with new collaborations with emerging and acclaimed choreographers.
WHO'S WHO IN THE COMPANY JOSÉ LIMÓN (Founder/Choreographer, 1908-1972) electrified the world with his dynamic masculine dancing and dramatic choreography. One of the 20th century’s most important and influential dance makers, he spent his career pioneering a new art form and fighting for its recognition. Born in Culiacán, Mexico in 1908, he moved to California in 1915, and in 1928 came to New York where he saw his first dance program. Limón enrolled in Doris Humphrey and Charles Weidman’s dance school and performed in several of their works from 1930 to 1940. In 1946, with Doris Humphrey as Artistic Director, Limón formed his own company. Over the next 25 years, he established himself and his company as a major force of 20th century dance. Limón created a total of 74 works, including The Moor’s Pavane, Concerto Grosso, and Missa Brevis. DORIS HUMPHREY (Founder/Choreographer, 1895-1958) is recognized as a founder of American Modern Dance. She developed a distinctive movement approach based on the body’s relationship to gravity and the use of weight. The company she formed with Charles Weidman produced great dances as well as

ABOUT THE JOYCE THEATER FOUNDATION The Joyce Theater Foundation ("The Joyce," Executive Director, Linda Shelton), a nonprofit organization, has proudly served the dance community for over three decades. Under the direction of founders Cora Cahan and Eliot Feld, Ballet Tech Foundation acquired and The Joyce renovated the Elgin Theater in Chelsea. Opening as The Joyce Theater in 1982, it was named in honor of Joyce Mertz, beloved daughter of LuEsther T. Mertz. It was LuEsther’s clear, undaunted vision and abundant generosity that made it imaginable and ultimately possible to build the theater. Ownership was secured by The Joyce in 2015. The theater is one of the only theaters built by dancers for dance and has provided an intimate and elegant home for over 400 U.S.-based and international
companies. The Joyce has also expanded its reach beyond its Chelsea home through offsite presentations at venues ranging in scope from Lincoln Center’s David H. Koch Theater, to Brooklyn’s Invisible Dog Art Center, and to outdoor programming in spaces such as Hudson River Park. To further support the creation of new work, The Joyce maintains longstanding commissioning and residency programs. Local students and teachers (K–12th grade) benefit from its school program, and family and adult audiences get closer to dance with access to artists. The Joyce’s annual season of about 48 weeks of dance now includes over 340 performances for audiences in excess of 150,000 patrons. Visit Joyce.org for more information.
