WILLIAMSTOWN, Mass. – ’62 Center for Theatre and Dance presents 2008 National Medal of Arts winner Limón Dance Company. The company will revive Rooms (1955), Anna Sokolow's seminal masterwork about urban alienation. The reconstruction of this groundbreaking piece, including a new version of Kenyon Hopkins' jazz score performed by the Williams Jazz Ensemble, epitomizes the spirit of the company on the 100th anniversary of Limón's birth. The performance will be on the MainStage on January 24th at 8 PM, located at 1000 Main Street, in Williamstown, MA.

Additional residency activities will include a master class taught by artistic director Carla Maxwell on January 20th at 4 PM; a lecture titled Anna Sokolow and José Limón: Colleagues, Friends, and Humanists, on January 21st; a wine and cheese pre-show talk in the ’62 Center lobby on January 24th at 6 PM. All these events are free and open to the public.

The Limón Dance Company was founded in 1946 by the pioneering dancer and choreographer José Limón (1908-1972, b. Culiacan, Mexico). Limón, a company steeped in history, has had a tremendous impact on the development of modern dance in the 20th century.

The Limón Dance Company is the first in the Center’s winter Triple Shot of Dance series. Rounding out the series will be DanceBrazil on February 14th and Cleo Parker Robinson Dance Company on February 27th, both at 8 PM.

Continuing its mission to contextualize arts within scholarly inquiry, the Center presents an impressive body of work that sets student work side-by-side with that of professional artists. We strive to challenge traditional forms, engage with a larger political dialogue and allow our audiences to explore diverse modes of expression. Not content merely to present popular work, the Center’s professional performances, workshops and student productions are designed to invite the entire community to engage, debate, and celebrate the experience of both witnessing and creating live art.

The Limón Dance Company will perform on Saturday, January 24th at 8:00 pm on the ’62 Center MainStage. Tickets are $3 with valid student ID & $10 for all others.

For tickets, visit the Williams ’62 Center Box Office Tues-Sat, 1-5 pm or call (413) 597-2425. For more information, please visit http://62center.williams.edu.
