Lydia Johnson Dance

MaliQ Williams with Lydia Johnson Dance Julie Lemberger

Choreographer Lydia Johnson presents her company, joined by special guest MaliQ Williams, former dancer with the Mark Morris Dance Group, in a world premiere and two repertory favorites.  From 2022 is "For Eli," set to music by Chopin and called "...shattering, and one of the finest new dances I've seen since the pandemic ended" (J. Hochman, critical dance).  The Company will also repeat "Night of the Flying Horses," set to Argentinian composer Osvaldo Golijov's piece of the same name.  Following its 2013 premiere,  Darrell Wood, NYC Dance Stuff found the work "...filled with sublime imagery...it's a beautiful and emotional work. Ms. Johnson reached in and pulled 'Night of the Flying Horses' from her heart".
