Award-winning New York City Ballet principal dancer, choreographer, actress, author, curator and designer, Tiler Peck brings her dazzling love letter to dance, Turn It Out with Tiler Peck & Friends to Chicago for the first time! After its sold-out world premiere in New York, celebrated season in London, and numerous dates around the US, Peck is back with some of today’s most exciting dance artists for a virtuosic and innovative program.
Olivier Award Nominee and 2-time UK National Dance Awards winner, the program begins with The Barre Project, Blake Works II, a piece originally created for film with music by James Blake that marked the first creative partnership between Peck and choreographer William Forsythe. Peck’s own Thousandth Orange, set to live music by Pulitzer Prize winner Caroline Shaw is next. Peck sought out West Coast legend Alonzo King to create the electric pas de deux, Swift Arrow, and the show closes with the irresistible New York City Center commission Time Spell, a collaboration between Peck and tap dance icon Michelle Dorrance, with Emmy-nominated Jillian Meyers and a powerhouse cast.
Featuring performances by:
Chun Wai Chan, Michelle Dorrance, Jovani Furlan, Christopher Grant, Lex Ishimoto, Brooklyn Mack, Aaron Marcellus, Roman Mejia, Jillian Meyers, Mira Nadon, Tiler Peck, Quinn Starner, Byron Tittle, and Penelope Wendtlandt.
