NYCB marks Justin Peck's tenth year as resident choreographer with this selection of some of his finest works, displaying both his versatility and his musicality. The program includes his first dance for the Company, In Creases, from 2012, an ensemble piece set to music by Philip Glass. As its title indicates, Solo was choreographed for a single dancer, and made its debut as a short film directed by Sofia Coppola during the pandemic. Partita is one of Peck's signature sneaker ballets, inspired by the Pulitzer Prize-winning a capella composition, which was in turn a tribute to the painter Sol LeWitt, whose daughter, Eva LeWitt, provided the designs. The program concludes with Peck's exuberant Everywhere We Go, celebrating his enduring collaboration with the composer Sufjan Stevens.
Performances on Sept. 24 & Oct. 3, 12, & 13.
