Alwin Nikolais: A Celebration Tour

A presentation of the Nikolais/Louis Dance Foundation in collaboration with the Ririe Woodbury Dance Company

In one unforgettable evening, come experience the most ingenious dances ever imagined in a special tribute to one of modern dance's most visionary choreographers. For 60 years Alwin Nikolais explored physical space and spellbinding movement with a kaleidoscope of sound, light, multimedia effects, and costumes that unfolded on the stage like a glorious dream. Now, 10 years after his passing, original collaborators celebrate his illustrious career with the first all-Nikolais program to tour in over a decade.
