Four Of America's Best

Joffrey Ballet's American Icons honors the influential voices that shaped contemporary dance in the 20th century. Bringing together works by Joffrey Ballet co-founders Robert Joffrey and Gerald Arpino, along with celebrated choreographers Glen Tetley and Martha Graham, four distinct artistic visions get an worthy airing.

The program features Kettentanz, Arpino's joyous tribute to Viennese dance traditions, alongside Graham's Secular Games, a spirited look at human interaction and social dynamics. Joffrey's Remembrances offers a deeply personal meditation on love and memory, while Tetley's Voluntaries delivers an evocative expression of resilience and renewal. Together they encapsulate the influence and vision of four choreographers who expanded the boundaries of the form.
