Complexions Contemporary Ballet
About This Event
Complexions Contemporary Ballet, founded in New York City in 1994 by Dwight Rhoden and Desmond Richardson, appears at The Joyce Theater with its company repertory. Its dancers combine classical ballet technique with a contemporary register that draws on concert-dance forms and street-derived attack; the work emphasizes musicality and physical clarity over narrative and has been presented alongside ensembles such as the Spanish Harlem Orchestra and the Queens Symphony Orchestra.
