Company E brings to the Terrace Theater (The John F. Kennedy Center For the Performing Arts) a unique evening celebrating four generations of Polish contemporary choreography and classical music with Generations: Poland on January 22 and 23, 2016.
The Company, nominee for the 2015 Outstanding Emerging Artist Award, introduces new faces: Lidia Woś (choreography Who Let the Dogs Out; music by Marcin Brycki) and Robert Bondara (choreography Di di and go go to Singletrack by Paweł Szymański) in their U.S. choreographic debuts. Pola Nireńska, a legend in the Washington dance scene who passed away in 1991, is highlighted with the return to the stage of Dirge, part of her Holocaust Tetralogy. Past Pola Nireńska Award winner and Company E co-artistic director Paul Gordon Emerson premieres work Air set to the second movement of Henryk Mikołaj Górecki's Symphony of Sorrowful Songs No. 3, Op. 36.
