Studio 5: Celebrating Arthur Mitchell
Join Dance Theatre of Harlem (DTH) Artistic Director Robert Garland and New York City Ballet (NYCB) Associate Artistic Director Wendy Whelan in a celebration of the legacy of iconic dancer and choreographer Arthur Mitchell, who would have turned 90 on March 27. Mitchell was the first Black principal at NYCB under George Balanchine, and Mitchell went on to found DTH in 1969, in the height of the Civil Rights Movement and as a response to the death of Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. the year prior. The evening will feature performances by DTH and NYCB as well as conversations about the Black aesthetic and its impact on Balanchine's ballets.
Your cheers and applause fill our theater with warmth—but they can’t keep the lights on for another 80 years. Support Manhattan’s oldest performing arts center today by making a gift with your purchase, and you’re ensuring another 80 years of affordable art for all New Yorkers.
