Dance in Albany, a joint presentation between The Egg and the University at Albany, returns for its eighth season this fall with heavy-hitters of the contemporary dance world and genre-bending interdisciplinary presentations.
The collaborative series began as a way to bring preeminent choreographers and dance companies from a diverse range of genres to Albany. This season’s nine performances will be split between UAlbany’s uptown campus and The Egg.
Highlights from the 2023-24 series include Dayton Contemporary Dance Company, opening the season; the Bill T. Jones/Artie Zane Company, which combines social commentary with modern dance; hip-hop and street club with Passion Fruit Company; the multidisciplinary, Renaissance and Baroque-infused NoGravity Theatre; the Mark Morris Dance Group; and tap legend Savion Glover.
The season will also feature a collaboration between the Ellen Sinopoli Dance Company, The Egg’s resident company, and Capital Trio, UAlbany Performing Arts Center’s resident music ensemble. The free performance will take place January 27, 2024 at UAlbany’s Performing Arts Center.
