California Posted July 13, 2021 Share Posted July 13, 2021 New York City Center has announced its 2021-2022 season: https://www.nycitycenter.org/About/2021-2022-season/ A few interesting ballet offerings: TWYLA NOW Nov 17 – 21, 2021 Pioneering choreographer Twyla Tharp turns 80 and she’s celebrating on our stage. Stars including Alvin Ailey American Dance Theater’s James Gilmer and Jacquelin Harris; American Ballet Theatre’s Aran Bell and Catherine Hurlin; Tony-nominated actor and dancer Robert Fairchild; and New York City Ballet’s Sara Mearns, Roman Mejia, and Tiler Peck perform signature works and two world premieres including a group piece featuring the principal dancers and an ensemble of young performers for this once-in-a-lifetime event. ARTISTS AT THE CENTER | TILER PECK Mar 3 – 6, 2022 Artists at the Center is our new dance series that gives City Center’s extraordinary family of artists opportunities to conceive and curate their own programs for our stage. Tiler Peck, New York City Ballet principal dancer, will launch this annual event with a program of her design, performing alongside a variety of dancers and musicians. A City Center-commissioned world premiere set to music composed by jazz legend and recent Academy Award-winner Jon Batiste is presented alongside works by William Forsythe, Alonzo King, Jennifer Weber, and Peck herself. ST. PETERSBURG EIFMAN BALLET Jun 10 – 12, 2022 Award-winning choreographer Boris Eifman explores the life and artistic universe of the famous comedy dramatist Molière in his latest production, Molière Passion, or The Mask of Don Juan. Like the 2001 production of Don Juan & Molière, the new ballet draws its dramatic energy from the contradictory unity of theater and reality, and the paradoxical relationship between the author and his characters.

Proof of vaccination required for everybody, Tickets went on sale today (Sunday, 9/19) for Fall for Dance Festival. I have never been to this Festival before, but coincidentally will be in town for one performance, so I thought I'd try. Logged on the minute they opened (11 am EDT) and was in the waiting room for an hour. But I'm surprised at how good the seat is. I am a Friend at the lowest level and have no idea if that might have anything to do with it. No seat selection, but okay. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I could never see Fall for Dance before because availability was so difficult. I was surprised they were still available Sunday night. Maybe not so good for City Center, but it's good for me!

BalanchineFan Posted October 25, 2021 Share Posted October 25, 2021 I really enjoyed Fall for Dance this year. I saw opening night (program 1), with Elizabeth Streb, Kyle Abraham's beautiful piece to Nina Simone recordings. and Sweet Gwen Suite with Georgina Pazcoquin (very sassy), program 2 with Stephen Petronio, Houston Ballet and Ephat Asherie (very charming, tap and hip hop), and Program 5 with Fandango, Justin Peck's Bloom for Tiler Peck and Herman Cornejo (fabulous), and Ayodele Casel (great tap, with music and amazing vocals by Crystal Monee Hall. If she has a record I'm buying it) . What a lot of variety. It may have been easier to get tickets, but the audiences seemed quite full, and as enthusiastic as ever.
