(GALLOWAY, NJ) -- Under the direction and guidance of the acclaimed Limón Dance Company, Stockton University Dance students will unveil a performance repertoire unlike any seen before on Friday, October 11, 2024 in the Performing Arts Center. Showtime is 7:30pm.
The Limón Dance Company (LDC) has been at the vanguard of dance since its inception in 1946. This critically acclaimed company keeps alive the legacy of its founder Jose Limón, and his choreographic vision full of arresting visual clarity, theatricality and rhythmic and musical life. Now in its 78th season, LDC enlivens Stockton’s campus during the weeklong residency, engaging with students and the community through master classes and rehearsals. The residency culminates in the October 11 performance.
The Performing Arts Center concert includes excerpts from “A Choreographic Offering,” an exuberant celebration of dancing itself set to the music of Johann Sebastian Bach, that the New York Times described as being full of “a luscious spontaneity;” “There is a Time,” a 1956 masterwork drawing from Ecclesiastes, evoking the breadth of human experience, and eloquently using the Pulitzer Prize-winning score by Norman Dello Joio; “The Exiles,” a virtuosic duet; and “Scherzo,” an energetic, athletic dance for four men and a drum tossed between them.
Tickets are $30 for the general public, $27 for seniors (65+) and military members, $25 for alumni, $20 for faculty and staff and $12 for children under 12 and Stockton students.
