Location: Ted Shawn Theatre
This summer marks 25 years since the last Pillow appearance by Parsons Dance, the international touring modern dance company led by David Parsons, “one of the great movers of modern dance” (The New York Times). Beloved for their high-energy and athletic ensemble work, Parsons dancers have wowed audiences in more than 30 countries, performing selections from a repertory of more than 75 works created by Parsons, Jamar Roberts, Rena Butler, and others. The return to the Pillow is a celebration of the company’s go-for-broke energy and the vision of David Parsons: “to bring life-affirming performances and joy to audiences worldwide.” The program at the Pillow will feature signature works including Caught (1982), choreographed by David Parsons, and Takedeme (1999), choreographed by Robert Battle.
