Founded by the two former Alvin Ailey dancers, Dwight Rhoden and Desmond Richardson, Complexions Contemporary Ballet is a company of dance thoroughbreds— fearless and focused. With spectacular virtuosity, the company delivers on the leaders’ athletic, hyper-kinetic and nervy vision to reflect evolving contemporary culture. The program will feature all new works by choreographer Dwight Rhoden.

“Rhoden's work is post-Balanchinean choreography, a new aesthetic in movement, stage picture, and performance concepts reflecting a post-modern, techno-savvy worldview.” —Dance Magazine
