Live, Video: Find classical music concert, opera, ballet and dance reviews | José Limón

José Limón's The Emperor Jones is relocated to Wall Street and a visually stunning new work from heralded Mexican choreographer Diego Vega Solorza challenges gender binaries.  

Doris Humphrey and José Limón inspired a world premiere from Aszure Barton for the Limón Dance Company at New York City's storied 92nd Street Y.

A finale to Pacific Northwest’s Ballet’s 2018-1019 season sends the audience home with memories of satisfying new work, appreciation of the old, and shaken to the core by a Limón performance.

It can’t be easy to programme a Shakespeare season that has something new to say about this giant figure in a year of excellent productions up and down the country, but this programme achieves it. 

Simply stated, watching the Limón Dance Company is an emotional experience. The concepts that inspired founder and choreographer José Limón 65 years ago remain fresh today and challenge the audience. This unspoken conversation is the hallmark of American modern dance and part of Limón’s legacy.
