A guided tour through a 100-year legacy of dance.

A guided tour through a 100 year legacy of dance, Time Capsule incorporates RDT’s prestigious repertory into an informative multi-media retrospective, paying homage to the ingenuity, creativity and inventive spirit of legendary 20th century choreographers. From the Founders of modern dance, through the Avant Garde and Post-modern, to contemporary choreographers of today, “RDT follows the development of American dance…with such total identification and vivacity that one could believe they actually were the pioneers of those early days with their passion for uprising and revolt against the conventions of the classics.” (Linda Zamboni, Die Presse, Vienna).

Highlights from the program include excerpts from Isadora Duncan's Valse Brilliante, Doris Humphrey's Soaring, Daniel Nagrin's Strange Hero, José Limón's There Is A Time, Anna Sokolow's Lyric Suite, Shapiro & Smith's Dance for Two Army Blankets, and Laura Dean's Sky Light. "One of the liveliest and most imaginative modern dance troupes in the world." Clive Barnes, New York Post.

The Repertory Dance Theater performance in Time Capsule was made possible by a generous grant from the National Endowment for the Arts' American Masterpieces: Dance initiative, administered by the New England Foundation for the Arts.
