LYNDON – Parsons Dance performs at the Lyndon Institute, March 28, at 7 p.m. Known for their athleticism and ensemble work, they fuse the gestures and movements that comprise modern dance with the discipline and precision of a classical dance company.
Artistic Director and founder David Parsons had a career as a performer with Momix and Paul Taylor Dance Company before creating over 70 works for his own company. He has received commissions from American Ballet Theatre, New York City Ballet, Alvin Ailey, Jacob’s Pillow, Spoleto Festival and others. In 2007, he became the first contemporary choreographer ever to stage work at the centuries-old Arena di Verona in Italy.
