Adrienne Arsht Center Presents
THE JOFFREY BALLET
March 26 & 27, 2010
Adrienne Arsht Center for the Performing Arts of Miami-Dade County
Sanford and Dolores Ziff Ballet Opera House
“Swift, sinuous choreography and the superb ensemble of youthful dancers,” (The Washington Post) are the hallmarks of The Joffrey Ballet. The company has long been known as a transformational force in American dance, having notched an astonishing number of ‘firsts’: the first dance company to perform at the White House; first to appear on television; first American company to visit Russia; first classical dance company to go multi-media; first to commission a rock
‘n’ roll ballet; and the first and only dance company to appear on the cover of Time Magazine.
Renowned for a remarkable repertory of more than 250 works full of “speed and light soaring bodies” (The New York Times), the Joffrey comes to Miami with one of its most recent major hits — The Age of Innocence, inspired by the women of Jane Austen, choreographed by Edward Liang, and featuring a mesmerizing, propulsive score by Philip Glass and Thomas Newman.
