Lar Lubovitch Dance Company will present a one-week season. The program features three dances: the world premiere of Lar Lubovitch’s Legend; a revival of his acclaimed North Star; and a new production of the company’s most recent premiere, Coltrane’s Favorite Things.
In his new Legend, set to Johannes Brahms’s powerful Piano Quintet (first and fourth movements), the dancers map the complex, shifting terrain of Brahms’s music.
Also on the program is one of Lubovitch’s signature works, North Star. Created in 1978, North Star was one of the first concert dances ever set to a composition by Philip Glass, and was the second of six Lubovitch works set to Minimalist music during the 1970s. In North Star, Lubovitch explores the full kinetic potential of Glass’s experimental score, in constantly flowing, shifting patterns of movement.
Completing the program is a new production of this past spring’s popular Coltrane’s Favorite Things (2010), set to a 1963 recording of John Coltrane’s interpretation of the classic Richard Rodgers song “My Favorite Things.” With this dance, Lubovitch reimagines the choreographic possibilities of jazz, creating a vibrant counterpart to the music.
