RIOULT Dance NY

RIOULT Dance NY, a leading American modern dance company with a classic sensibility, will present two unique programs during its June 17-22, 2014 New York Season at The Joyce Theater, 175 Eighth Avenue (at 19th Street), NYC. The schedule runs: Tuesday at 7:30pm; Wednesday at 7pm; Thursday and Friday at 8pm; Saturday at 2pm & 8pm; and Sunday at 2pm & 7:30pm. Tickets start at $10 and are available at JoyceCharge at 212-242-0800, in person at The Joyce Theater Box Office, or online at joyce.org.

Described by The Huffington Post as “captivating” and “intensely musical,” the company celebrates its 20th Anniversary with two programs highlighting Pascal Rioult’s powerful choreography, profound humanity, and extraordinary dancers. In Program A, Martha, May & me, Rioult pays homage to his mentors with a performance of May O’Donnell’s classic Suspension, created in 1943, and Martha Graham’s iconic El Penitente (1940). Rioult’s Black Diamond (2003) and Views of the Fleeting World (2008) round out the program. Program B features a World Premiere set to music of Pytor Ilyich Tchaikovsky, the powerful Wien (1995), and last year’s premiere, Iphigenia.

RIOULT’s 2014 Gala benefit will take place on Wednesday, June 18. For more information and tickets, please call 212-398-5901 or email gala@rioult.org.

RIOULT Dance NY, celebrating its 20th Anniversary in the 2013-2014 Season, fast became an established name in modern dance with a reputation for bringing the sensual, articulate, and musical dance works of Pascal Rioult to audiences worldwide. The twelve-dancer company, based in New York City, is led by husband-and-wife team Artistic Director/Choreographer Pascal Rioult and Associate Artistic Director Joyce Herring - both former Martha Graham Dance Company principal dancers. With an established repertoire of over 40 dances that expands each year, RIOULT Dance NY presents an annual New York Season and tours nationally and abroad. In addition, in-school arts education and community outreach have been integral to the company since its inception, introducing students and families to the art of modern dance.
