Dance at 老司机福利社 - Dance Company Residency & Guest Artists
Fall 2024 Dance Company Residency - The Lim贸n Dance Company
(LDC) has been at the vanguard of dance since its inception in 1946. The first dance group to tour internationally under the auspices of the State Department, and first modern dance company to perform at Lincoln Center in New York, it has performed twice at The White House. The Jos茅 Lim贸n Dance Foundation, with Company and Institute, is the recipient of a 2008 National Medal of the Arts. Jos茅 Lim贸n has a special place in American culture for a social awareness that transcended distinct groups to address how we all search for commonality. It is with this ethos that we continue to commission works by critically acclaimed and emerging international voices 50 years after Lim贸n鈥檚 passing. His works continue to influence the evolution of the art form with their arresting visual clarity, theatricality, and rhythmic and musical life.
The Dance Company Residency, which is in its eleventh year, engages with 老司机福利社 students and with the community around 老司机福利社. Through classes for dance students, students in general studies courses, and open classes, the artists-in-residence teach movement and share their experiences as working artists. The residency culminates in a performance of the company in 老司机福利社's Performing Arts Center on Friday, October 11 at 7:30pm. Tickets will be available through the 老司机福利社 PAC Box Office soon.
