GREAT PERFORMANCES PRESENTS:

Nrityagram Dance Ensemble

Thursday, March 25, Ingram Hall

"I dream of building a community of dancers in a forsaken place amidst nature. A place where nothing exists, except dance. A place where you breathe, eat, sleep, dream, talk, imagine - dance.
A place where all the five senses can be refined to perfection. A place where dancers drop negative qualities such as jealousy, small-mindedness, greed and malice to embrace their colleagues as sisters and support each other in their journey towards becoming dancers of merit."

"A place called Nrityagram."

Trey McIntyre Project

Wednesday April 7, 2010, Ingram Hall

"To use the inherent beauty of ballet vocabulary to create dances that authentically and clearly convey the emotion and grace of life’s journey, while meaningfully engaging audiences in the experience of art."

Residency:

October 8 - November 1, 2007

Join Vanderbilt in a dance residency with this hallmark Mexican-American modern company that features nine Vanderbilt dance students in the final main stage event in the heritage work Missa Brevis.

Acclaimed for its dramatic expression, technical mastery and expansive, yet nuanced movement, the Limón Dance Company illustrates the timelessness of José Limón's work and vision. Founded in 1946 by José Limón and Doris Humphrey, the Company is now led by Artistic Director Carla Maxwell, who worked closely with Limón.

The company's repertory, which balances classic works with commissions from contemporary choreographers, is of unparalleled breadth. Don't miss this company's fall stay in Nashville as they reconstruct legacy works.
