Twyla Tharp Dance

Twyla Tharp, one of the nation's leading choreographers, will mark her 50th year in 2015 with a national tour of a new work. Most significantly, the tour will launch a new Tharp ensemble, her first in over two decades. Tharp envisions a company of fourteen extraordinary dancers (seven men and seven women) who will express Tharp's unique classical/vernacular vocabulary. Set in three parts, the score will include Terry Riley's In C, J.S. Bach's Well Tempered Clavier, and works of Henry Butler, orchestrated by Steven Bernstein.
