Alvin Ailey American Dance Theater is inviting the Asian American Arts Alliance community to experience A Matter of Time by Yue Yin, a rising star choreographer with a singular voice. Premiering December 10, the dynamic new ballet will be presented during Ailey’s New York City Center holiday season, which promises all the passionate artistry, technical brilliance and inspiration that make an Ailey performance a singular experience.

Yue Yin thrillingly pairs her signature FoCo Technique™ - rooted in Chinese classical and folk dance traditions – with the urgent sounds of Javanese Musical group Raja Kirik’s powerful track “Act I. Sigra Sigra,” which draws inspiration from Indonesia’s struggle for independence. This dynamic, high-endurance work explores the power of collective action, unity, and ritual while reflecting Yin’s ongoing artistic exploration across cultures, boundaries, and genres.
