"Hailed as two of the greatest virtuosos ever to emerge from Ailey land - Dwight Rhoden and Desmond Richardson" —New York Times
About
COMPLEXIONS was conceived in 1994 to blend the uniqueness and the diversity of artists of different cultures and races and to celebrate a shared passion for dance. Inspired by social and political issues as well as human relationships, the company's repertoire is deliberately contemporary and accessible to a wide range of audience tastes. Founders Desmond Richardson and Dwight Rhoden, along with their New York City-based company of dance thoroughbreds--there are roughly twenty in the company, but guest artists swell the ranks as needed--have awakened audiences to a new, exciting . . . genre that combines the best of athleticism, lyricism, and technical training and experience.

Lincoln Center's Alice Tully Hall;
