Also on the program is I Love You, an exquisite duet performed by Kristine Bendul and Abdiel Jacobsen choreographed by Ron De Jesus of Hubbard Street and Twyla Tharp's Movin' Out (12/11-12); KINGS, a dance with narration on the Central Park 5 by emerging choreographer Meagan King (12/11); Buglisi’s iconic Sand, set to Philip Glass’ brilliant string quartet, is a tribute to the beauty of the desert and the soil of the earth we so cherish for our existence.
