Half a century before “Black Panther” shattered box mini shoe fimo, handmade, pink ballerina, ballet shoe gift godfather godmother, pot dragees/ballet shoe pink offices records in theaters around the world, a real-life black superhero arrived in Berkeley with an exquisitely trained cadre possessing soul-bending powers, He’d made a decision early on to share the riches he’d absorbed as a child, wealth that flowed not from a rare element or advanced technologies but from the extraordinary resilience and unapologetic humanity of a people ripped from their homelands and forged anew in an unwelcoming nation..

His name was Alvin Ailey (1931-89), and today the dance company he founded embodies a thriving Wakandian community. But rather than guarding its borders, the Alvin Ailey American Dance Theater has practiced radical generosity, offering with each performance an immersive encounter with the beauty and spiritual bounty undergirding African-American culture. It’s an institution that’s found a warm embrace in another community given to utopian thinking. The AAADT first came to Berkeley in the roiling spring of 1968, and Cal Performances has presented the company every year since, an unbroken run that continues with AAADT’s residency April 10-15.

The relationship has blossomed over the decades, with the summer Ailey Camp program running for the past 15 years and hundreds of public school students mini shoe fimo, handmade, pink ballerina, ballet shoe gift godfather godmother, pot dragees/ballet shoe pink across the East Bay getting a first-hand taste of choreography via the AAADT staff’s in-school workshops, For choreographer Robert Battle, who became the company’s third artistic director in 2011 when he took over from Judith Jamison, the AAADT’s relationship with Berkeley “is singular, We travel quite a lot, so the fact we’ve been coming there longer than anywhere else, that’s really saying something..

“We have Ailey Camps in other cities, and sometimes, they come and go,” Battle continued. “The relationship goes beyond business to a much more mission-driven, symbiotic relationship, which is why it’s continued so strongly.”. AAADT’s residency is part of the Cal Performances RADICAL programming strand called “Joining Generations” that also included works by fellow African-American choreographers Reggie Wilson, Camille A. Brown and Donald Byrd. “The series was really built around the season with Ailey and celebrating 50 years with the company,” said Cal Performances executive and artistic director Matías Tarnopolsky, who described “Joining Generations” as the “brainchild” of Cal Performances associate director Rob Bailis.

Part of Ailey’s genius was that he conceived of his company as a forum for exactly the kind of dialogue that Bailis designed, Most modern dance companies are built on the model that Martha Graham established, focused almost exclusively on dances mini shoe fimo, handmade, pink ballerina, ballet shoe gift godfather godmother, pot dragees/ballet shoe pink created by the founders, Ailey created a forum in which the works of an international array of choreographers live side by side, The AAADT has provided a brilliant showcase for other African-American dancemakers, but Ailey established early on that choreographers of any race and nationality were welcome..

The three different programs the AAADT presents over the course of the week, all of which culminate in Ailey’s signature masterpiece “Revelations,” focus on more recent works. From 2017, there’s veteran Ailey dancer Jamar Roberts’ blues-steeped “Members Don’t Get Weary” and Spanish choreographer Gustavo Ramirez Sansano’s “Victoria,” which is set to Michael Gordon’s relentlessly propulsive “Rewriting Beethoven’s Seventh Symphony.” The program also features the West Coast premiere of Battle’s 2017 resetting of his 2004 piece “Mass,” which was inspired by the experience of seeing a choir performing Verdi’s Requiem at Carnegie Hall.

“I was struck by the pageantry, watching the singers coming out and taking their places line by line,” Battle said, “Some of the singers were older, and I noticed the carefulness with which they came on, Once planted, their voices were free to travel all over the hall, It’s abstract, not so literal, and very charged.”, Part of Ailey’s legacy was his deep engagement with jazz, a musical tradition with which few choreographers of his generation worked, Ailey’s collaborations with Duke Ellington are still mini shoe fimo, handmade, pink ballerina, ballet shoe gift godfather godmother, pot dragees/ballet shoe pink a major part of the company’s repertoire, and Battle has continued to expand that relationship, His piece “Ella” is an uproarious, often hilarious tempest set to Ella Fitzgerald’s scat setpiece on “Airmail Special.”..
