Program 2

Mark Morris Dance Group  
Eleven from Mozart Dances Choreography by Mark Morris 

Eleven, often performed as a standalone piece, is part of the evening-length Mozart Dances set to Piano Concerto No. 11 in F Major; it premiered in 2006. 

Dyptik (France)  
Dans l’Engrenage Choreography by Mehdi Meghari and Souhail Marchiche (US Premiere)  

Dans l’Engrenage addresses society’s frantic race to feed our infinite appetite for success and the price we pay once the ultimate goal is achieved. Drawing inspiration from the traditional dances and rhythms of the Arab world, Meghari and Marchiche create an all-consuming trance—ever mounting in intensity. 

The Washington Ballet  
Shadow Lands Choreography by Dana Genshaft (NY Premiere) 

Shadow Lands,a??by former San Francisco Ballet soloista??Dana Genshaft,a??is set to music bya??Mason Batesa??who serves as the first composer-in-residence at The Kennedy Center. The acclaimed work is described by The Washington Post as “a vision of ballet form that’s futuristic and fresh,” and first premiered in Washington, DC in April 2019. 

Malevo (Argentina)  
Salvaje Choreography by Matias Jaime (US Premiere) 

Malevo is a dance company created in 2015 by director, choreographer, and dancer Matías Jaime, specializing in Malambo—a traditional Argentine folk dance of great virility and dexterity—that seeks to take it beyond its limits, with a modern, avant-garde, and transgressive approach, merging it with other dance styles like flamenco and urban percussion.

The 2019 Fall for Dance Festival runs October 1 – 13 at New York City Center (131 West 55th Street between 6th and 7th Avenues). All tickets are $15 and go on sale Sunday, September 8, at 11am.

In a banner with text that reads: Dark Room Ballet Collegium 2025, there are 5 small images of each instructor: Shannon crouches on the floor holding a microphone with neon yellow/green tulle draped across their body and smushing their face. They speak/sing into the microphone with their eyes closed. * Hannah stands on a large rock in a mountain meadow, surrounded by wildflowers and tall pine trees. She stands with her left leg held straight and supporting her, while her right leg is lifted high to the side, nearly horizontal. Her left arm curves overhead, and her right arm stretches toward her raised foot, creating a diagonal line across her body. She wears leggings, a short-sleeve shirt, trail shoes, and sunglasses, with her hair in two braids. The sky is clear, and snow-capped mountains are visible in the distance. * A headshot photo of Davian
