The Music Center shines the light on “America’s Original Multicultural Dance Company” and the use of dance to focus on important societal messages through movement and music as Glorya Kaufman Presents
Dance at The Music Center hosts Complexions Contemporary Ballet from
April 15-17, 2016 at the Dorothy Chandler Pavilion. Complexions’ performance of mixed repertory will include the west coast premiere of a choreography that honors poet Maya Angelou, along with pieces that explore
such topics as love, brotherhood, adversity, and faith, among others.
Winners of numerous awards, including The New York Times Critics
Choice Award, Complexions has appeared throughout the United States
and internationally. Heralded by the Washington Post as Cross-cultural
ballet with attitude and by The New York Times as sculpture in motion,
the company creates an open, continuously evolving form of dance that
reflects the movement of the world and all of its cultures as an interrelated
whole.
Founded in 1994 by Master Choreographer Dwight Rhoden and artistic
director and dancer Desmond Richardson, Complexions takes a singular
approach to reinventing dance through a groundbreaking mix of methods, styles and cultures. Today, Complexions represents one of the most
recognized and respected performing arts brands in the world, having
presented an entirely new and exciting vision of human movement on five
continents in more than 20 countries, to more than 20 million television
viewers and to well over 300,000 people in live performances.
