The night was a source of fascination for the choreographer Alvin Ailey. He understood its power, how bodies could soften in its shadows. It's a time when some people become their real selves, he wrote in his notebooks in reference to his dance Night Creature.
Ailey's ease at melding dance forms, mixing ballet with modern dance and jazz, wasn't always appreciated during his time. But it's so silky. It wakes up your hips. They want to roll, just as your arms want to reach.
For Lebrun, this ballet is magical - it's not only sensual, jazzy, technical, but it brings joy, which is what this company is about.
I am on this rooftop, and I've become a part of the sky... The wind is that much sweeter. It's blowing kisses onto my skin.
