In Good Company (for lunch)

Tuesday, November 1st, 2016
Christopher Wilson and Jacoby Pruitt made a powerful impression as the first dancers in today's demonstration.

Ailey II collaborated with SUNY Oswego and The Community Folk Art Center (CFAC) for a preview performance and lecture this afternoon. The Alvin Ailey masterwork “Revelations” was also featured. Dancers from Ailey II and Artistic Director Troy Powell facilitated a discussion afterwards. The event was held at CFAC.

The Alvin Ailey Dance Theater was formed in 1958. Ailey II was formed in 1974 as the company’s outreach and training vehicle.

If  you work near Syracuse University or along the Connective Corridor, consider yourselves lucky if you made it to this event because tomorrow’s show at SUNY Oswego is sold out. Hopefully, CFAC will continue these lunchtime performances next semester.

Dr. Marc Lamont Hill, fresh from his interview with Democratic Presidential Candidate Hillary Clinton, spoke at SUNY Oswego on Wednesday. Afterwards, he checked out the  smooth, yet potent sounds of Dr. Alphonso Sanders (right) at AL’s on South Clinton Street.  Sanders will be playing gigs in Oswego this week as well. More on his performance and the plethora of guests coming soon.
