Part of the Dance in Albany Series

Committed to the development of diverse movement on the global stage for over 50 years, the Bessie-award winning Dayton Contemporary Dance Company arrives with a repertory program that explores and celebrates the impact of African-American culture in the world today with works such as Nourishing Routes, Wawa Aba, This I Know For Sure and American Mo’.

Presented in cooperation with Union College and made possible by a gift from Gus and Sue Davis, class of ’59 in memory of their daughter Stephanie

Additional support provided by Executive Park.

This performance is part of the “Dance in Albany” performance series,  presented in collaboration with the UAlbany Performing Arts Center, offering a diverse mix, ranging from the work of iconic choreographers Bill T. Jones and Mark Morris and the return of tap legend Savion Glover, to explorations of African American movement from modern to hip-hop to street club by the Passion Fruit Dance Company, to the athleticism of Monica Bill Barnes to the fusion of illusion and motion by NoGravity Theatre, along with opportunities to experience the artistry of Ellen Sinopoli in both January and May.
