Forged during a pivotal moment in the Civil Rights Movement, Alvin Ailey American Dance Theater was established to uplift the African American experience while transcending boundaries of race, faith, and nationality with its universal humanity, and is now one of the most acclaimed dance companies in the world. For the first time in 62 years, the full company of extraordinary dancers will return to Jacob’s Pillow and bring to life audience favorites and thrilling new works by choreographers for whom Alvin Ailey paved the way, reminding us that dance is both a reflection of our past and a guide to our future.
