*Ailey II apprentice

Inspired by her Ailey homecoming, Artistic Director Francesca Harper’s Freedom Series travels through a landscape of memories creating a series of vignettes that embody and imagine a hybrid world where memory strives to influence the future. In this new iteration of her work, after social distancing, Harper has created a unique interactive dance performance that celebrates community and new opportunities to gather and come together. The Freedom Series will create a space to explore the body’s relationship to freedom through movement and music, encouraging attendees to participate safely. Participation, however, is not required to enjoy the performance.
