Artistic director Robert Battle continues to present Ailey classics, while introducing new choreography to the company repertory. As such, the season's program will include a new work created for the troupe by Robert Moses and a performance of a solo by Sierra Leone–born choreographer Asadata Dafora, as well as reprisals of Ronald K. Brown's delightful Grace, Hans van Manen's Polish Pieces and more. Classics will include Ailey's Night Creature, Pas de Duke, The River and—as always—Revelations.
