Celebrating one of America’s great modern choreographers, Lucinda Childs: A Portrait (1963–2016) is an evening-length retrospective of early and recent works created for the Lucinda Childs Dance Company over five decades.
Works include the iconic solo performance Pastime (1963), the early silent pieces Radial Courses (1976) and Interior Drama (1977), Concerto (1993) with music by Henryk Gorecki, Lollapalooza (2010) with music by longtime collaborator John Adams, and the recent work Canto Ostinato (2015), with music by Simeon ten Holt.
Featured on the program is the world premiere of Into View, a collaboration between Childs and composers/instrumentalists Colin Stetson and Sarah Neufeld, best known for their work with Arcade Fire and Bon Iver.
