Join us for an illuminating pre-show insight talk by Ailey 2 Dance Company’s Artistic Director, Francesca Harper.

Ailey 2: Pre-Show Talk (ATG+)

Ahead of Black History Month and in tandem with Ailey 2’s captivating evening performance, this talk delves into the profound significance of Alvin Ailey and his dance companies in shaping the tapestry of Black history.

Alvin Ailey’s journey began in the 1950’s against the backdrop of limited opportunities for African American dancers. Fuelled by a vision of inclusivity and self-expression, Ailey established a haven for dancers of all backgrounds, birthing the renowned Alvin Ailey American Dance Theater. The iconic masterwork, Revelations, woven with the threads of African American heritage remains a testament to resilience and triumph over adversity.

Discover how Ailey’s legacy thrives through Ailey 2, as Francesca Harper shares insights into life as company director as it marks its 50th anniversary and a 12-city UK tour.

Don’t miss this enriching talk that sets the stage for an evening of artistic brilliance and cultural celebration.

Sat 30th Sep
