Twyla Tharp Dance: Diamond Jubilee
Featuring Third Coast Percussion and Vladimir Rumyantsev, Piano
Twyla Tharp celebrates 60 years crafting strikingly original, thoroughly accessible, and utterly uncategorizable works with the West Coast premiere of SLACKTIDE, a new collaboration with composer Philip Glass, the artists’ first partnership in nearly 40 years. Performed live by Chicago’s Grammy-winning Third Coast Percussion ensemble, the score is based on Glass’ 1993–99 work Aguas da Amazonia and reflects on the crisis of climate change. Tharp also revives Diabelli, her 1998 triumph that challenges 11 dancers and a pianist to embody Beethoven’s endlessly inventive Diabelli Variations, performed live by pianist Vladimir Rumyantsev. The live audio description for this performance is provided by Gravity Access Services, Inc.
