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.
