Alvin AIley's CAUGHT catch it while you can
CAUGHT a work by choreographer David Parsons premiered in 1982. Alvin Ailey's Co. 1st premiered the piece in '04. This was my 1st time seeing this magical, exciting work which has a futuristic aesthetic. Parsons was a dancer with the Paul Taylor Dance Co. He found Parsons Dance in 1985 & received numerous commissions from numerous companies: NYC Ballet, Amer. Theatre Ballet & Alvin Ailey. He received the Dance Masters of Amer. Award '11. CAUGHT is a solo piece that incorporates clever lighting that captures the dancer suspended in motion like a photograph. The work is vibrant and exciting. The dancer navigates a blackout stage with bold energy. Parson's choreography & lighting concept merge to capture a vibrant moment in time & space. Seize the opportunity to see Ailey perform CAUGHT.
