HUNTER - Presented in partnership with Works & Process at the Guggenheim, Catskill Mountain Foundation presents Parsons Dance at the Orpheum Performing Arts Center on Saturday, November 8 at 7:00 PM.
For nearly forty years, Parsons Dance has been devoted to bringing life-affirming performances and joy to
audiences worldwide. Praised for its dancers who possess the athletic prowess and technical skill to help achieve this mission, the company will be in residency at the Catskill Mountain Foundation from November 2-9 while it works with choreographer Courtney “Balenciaga” Washington on creating a new piece co-commissioned by Parsons Dance and Works & Process at the Guggenheim. The audience will be treated to a preview of Washington’s full-company work, followed by a Q & A with the choreographer. The audience will also have the chance to experience some of the most cherished pieces from the Parsons repertory: Nascimento, Balance of Power, and Caught, along with Jamar Robert’s Juke, his critically acclaimed piece commissioned by Parsons Dance in 2024.
