La Jolla Music Society at San Diego Civic Theatre

This evening will begin with an interview session hosted by Molly Puryear. The start time is set at 6:30; you'll want to make sure that you're in your seats before that so that you won't miss a second of the program. From there, the dancers will come out and perform Appalachian Spring. This piece features the original choreography that Martha Graham herself designed way back in the 40s. In a way, it's the flagship presentation of the dance company that still bears her name. The costumes and the set design for this particular dance take you way back in time to an era when people were content with more simple elements of life.

The second dance of the night will be We the People. It's one of the most powerful pieces that top dance companies perform. The dance obviously features elements of social protest, showcasing some of the different societal issues that are still relevant to this day. All of this is wrapped up in an incredible music score written by Rhiannon Giddens. Finally, CAVE will be the last dance of the night. It's also a showcase that will be very familiar to dance fans. What both La Jolla Music Society and the Martha Graham Dance Company will be showcasing is a collection of dances that feature powerful messages. They are also part of a tradition in dance that consolidated the art form as a vehicle to express all sorts of emotions.

The entire San Diego Civic Theatre will be open for this night. This gives you a chance to think about where you want to sit to witness this event.
