ABOUT THE SHOW

Led by dance icons Dwight Rhoden and Desmond Richardson, Complexions Contemporary Ballet has awakened audiences to a new, exciting genre with their singular approach of reinventing dance and contemporary ballet. Armed with a rich Alvin Ailey lineage and a cadre of 16 stunning dancers, Complexions has been hailed as a “matchless American dance company” by the Philadelphia Inquirer and “game changing” by London’s The Guardian.

The program includes Retro Suite, a high-energy ride through some of its most unforgettable works and For Crying Out Loud, a raw, unfiltered new work set to U2’s “Songs of Surrender.” The full company shines in its diversity, and the raw physicality of individual dancers is undeniable.
