Be wowed by the high-energy, evocative dance moves of
award-winning Nimbus Dance, our area’s newest resident cultural institution.
The program features Dawn Marie Bazemore’s infectiously jazzy work, The
After Party, set to the music of Nina Simone and Nancy Wilson, along
with Artistic Director Samuel Pott’s deeply ruminative reflection on humanity’s
primal connection to the planet in Patch of Turf. The program also
features a new work by Houston Thomas, in collaboration with choral composer
Saunder Choi, that was recently awarded the prestigious Princess Grace Award
in Choreography, and which responds to Emma Lazarus’ poem, The New Colossus,
engraved at the base of the Statue of Liberty. Performances by Nimbus Dance
crackle with unexpected creativity and rousing athleticism. Don’t miss
this one! Attendees are invited to stroll through the garden starting at
5:30 p.m. and then enjoy complimentary wine and cheese on the West Terrace at
6:00 p.m. before the performance begins at 6:30 p.m.
