Jimmy Webb & Rebecca Haviland @ Louis Vaccaro

The vision for our 2019-2020 season is that we continue to disrupt the widespread notion that modern society does not want to leave the living room, flipping that idea on its head by making The Performing Arts Center itself a living room for the entire community.

What happens in a living room? Shared experience, and critical conversation. Here at The PAC, we continue to provide experiences that spark conversations and make connections; in so doing, we further enhance our reputation as a welcoming community hub for an increasingly diverse audience base. We’re excited about welcoming friends old and new to our stages, and about a season that includes more dance, more family events, and more audience engagement. A special mini-series of events will shine a spotlight on traditional (and not so traditional) artists from Mexico. You’ll also be treated to four brandnew works commissioned by The PAC, two of which will have their world premieres right here.

Join us and “experience something real” — a season of performing arts events that inspire, engage, and spark critical conversations.

Dorrance Dance @ Em Watson

“…pushes the boundaries of tap while exposing its true nature: that it is music” —The New York Times This electrifying company’s inaugural performance garnered a Bessie Award for “blasting open our notions of tap.” Founded by Michelle Dorrance, 2015 MacArthur Fellow and 2018 Doris Duke Artist Award recipient, the company has, in less than a decade, established an identity that honors tap dance’s uniquely American history in a new, dynamic, and compelling context—blending traditional technique with cutting-edge choreography and inventive rhythms.

The astounding skill and exuberance of this show-stopping group thrills audiences and challenges expectations every time they take the stage.

A.I.M Join us to experience the avant premiere of An Untitled Love from the award-winning choreographer and Purchase alumnus Kyle Abraham.

This evening-length dance work is sonically rooted in R&B/Soul Music, comprised of the catalogue of Grammy Award-winning R&B legend D’Angelo. It is a creative exaltation, centered on the often overlooked love and unity that exists within the black community.

A Jacob’s Pillow Dance Award winner, Doris Duke Artist Award winner, and MacArthur Fellow, Abraham is one of today’s most in-demand choreographers, and the first black choreographer commissioned to create a work for the New York City Ballet in over a decade. Abraham was born into the hip-hop culture of the late 1970s and incorporates an artistic upbringing of classical cello, piano, and the visual arts into his work with A.I.M. Through a sensual and provocative vocabulary, A.I.M strives to create an avenue for personal investigation, exposed on stage.

Limón Dance Company has been at the vanguard of American dance from its inception in 1946.

The Limón Dance Company brings the immediacy of our common experience onto the stage, exuberantly and intensely, with musical and fully lived dancing. They speak, urgently and joyfully, of our lives now: how we face the world and how we sense that world around us, how we can be with others, how we can destroy the bonds between us, and how we can create community.

The classic Limón works, like Shakespeare’s, are as perceptive today as when they were made, and the dancers use them to talk to us of today’s individual struggles and triumphs, and of racism, domestic abuse, and our joyful ability to create community.

“The American spirit soars whenever Taylor’s dancers dance.” —San Francisco Chronicle

@8pm

Dancemaker Paul Taylor first presented his choreography with five other dancers in Manhattan on May 30, 1954. That modest performance marked the beginning of 64 years of unrivaled creativity, and, in the decades that followed, Taylor became a cultural icon and one of American history’s most celebrated artists, hailed as part of the pantheon that created American modern dance. The company will PEPSICO THEATRE perform a mixed-rep program specially selected for The Purchase PAC, $85 / $65 / $40 commemorating the late Mr. Taylor.

RUBBERBAND The explosive Montreal-based RUBBERBAND has a style all its own, creating and producing innovative, high-energy, physically demanding works that are inspired by breakdancing, classical ballet, and dance theatre.

Fascinated by the raw dynamic of hip-hop and breakdancing and the purity of classical formalism, choreographer and RUBBERBAND Artistic Director Victor Quijada has been demolishing barriers between these contrasting dance styles for 17 years.

On the program, an evening-length work, Ever So Slightly. Set to live music, the production combines delicacy and finesse with brute, high-voltage movement to capture the energy of urgency, revolt, and flight from danger — a quest to find tranquility within chaos.

Flamenco Legends @ Luis Malibrán

Flamenco Legends Paco de Lucía was widely considered to be the world’s premier flamenco guitarist and by many to be Spain’s greatest musical export. He died more than three years ago, leaving behind an immense impact on flamenco music. Now members of his last touring band, led by guitarist-producer and 10-time Latin Grammy winner Javier Limón, are on the road as the Flamenco Legends, revisiting the late guitarist’s music and honoring his legacy while paving a new path into the future of flamenco.

Acclaimed by audiences at Lincoln Center, The Kennedy Center, The Smithsonian Folklife Festival, and other major venues throughout the U.S., their skillfully arranged versions of classic mariachi melodies feature fullthroated harmonies and unforgettable festive pageantry.

Chouk Bwa

Sat

Nov 16 @8pm

Infused with the scent and sensibility of voodoo, it is music that refuses to obscure their homeland’s deep African heritage. These are rhythms that were “torn from Africa and secretly replanted in a new land.” But this “replanting” sowed a new identity. As such, the music of Chouk Bwa is a proud statement of Haitian culture, of a nation that has known the hardest of times but whose spirit remains as tough as those ancient drums.

This event is part of (T)HERE: A Global Festival of Art, Culture, and Ideas - HAITI, taking place November 14-16 on the campus of Purchase College.

Sedaris is one of today’s most observant writers addressing the human condition, which he details hilariously in his latest book, Calypso, described as beach reading for people who detest beaches and required reading for those who loathe small talk.

Fans will love to hear these stories live as the Grammy nominee and New York Times best-selling author brings heart and hilarity to the stage.

Black Violin

Black Violin’s Impossible Tour heads our way in March of 2020, spreading the message that anything is possible and there are no limits to what one can achieve, regardless of circumstance.

With influences ranging from Shostakovich and Bach to Nas and Jay-Z, stereotype-smashing Black Violin breaks the rules, blending classical, hip-hop, rock, R&B, and bluegrass to create a sound they call “classical boom.” With Kevin Sylvester and Wilner Baptiste, a.k.a. Kev Marcus and Wil B., on violin and viola, alongside DJ SPS and drummer Nat Stokes, Black Violin uses their music to overcome stereotypes and encourage people of all ages, races, and economic backgrounds to join together to break down cultural barriers.

Black Violin is currently writing and recording their next studio album, expected to be released in late 2019. Their last album, Stereotypes, debuted at #1 on the Billboard Classical Crossover Chart and #4 on the Billboard R&B Chart. Creative collaborators include Kanye West, Wu-Tang Clan, Wyclef Jean, Lil Wayne, and Alicia Keys.

Arch 8

Be among the first to see Rising Tide, a brand-new work from innovative Dutch dance company Arch 8, commissioned by The PAC.

Rising Tide is a dynamic dance performance about our world right now. It examines things that are rising: temperatures, sea levels, and especially the extinction of animal species. Using poetry, play, partnering, and live music, the performers weave a world where we fall in love with nature, mourn its loss, and come to realize that our activism and engagement can turn the tide for the better. Both cautionary tale and vessel of hope, Rising Tide invites audiences aboard for an unforgettable journey of discovery for all ages.

Arch 8 is not your everyday dance company.

With choreographer Erik Kaiel the company creates unorthodox, acrobatic dance for kids and grown-ups who can’t sit still, specializing in joyful and engaging interactive performances. They received the People’s Choice Victor Award at IPAY Montreal in 2016 for their production of Tetris.

The Boy Who Grew Flowers Adapted from the picture book by Mara McEwin and choreographed by Emily Bunning, this is the story of young Rink Bowagon, who lives on top of Lonesome Mountain with his unusual family of rattlesnake tamers and shape-shifters. The townspeople agree that Rink’s family are quite strange, but they are unaware of Rink’s spectacular gifts.

Whenever the moon is full, Rink sprouts beautiful flowers all over his body. When a new girl, Angelina, moves to town, Rink’s life truly begins to grow.

Incorporating shadow puppetry, original music, and movement into the play, this thoughtful production from The Treehouse Shakers speaks to themes of diversity, creating empathy, and celebrating individuality.

Support the performing arts you love and keep them thriving!

There is something magical about experiencing a live performance: the excitement as the lights go down and anticipation as the curtain rises; the connection felt with artists as their work inspires you; watching a child’s eyes light up with joy and wonder; conversations sparked by a shared moment seen onstage; students working with renowned artists and filled with gratitude for the opportunity; lives enriched by the power of the performing arts.

Unforgettable moments like these are what The Performing Arts Center at Purchase College is all about. Your generosity is what makes it all possible as ticket sales do not cover the costs.
