To celebrate its 285th anniversary, the Wolmer's Trust will, on September 29, host the renowned Ailey II American Dance Theatre in a special performance at the Little Theatre, in St Andrew.
As a precursor to the visit in September, Troy Powell, the artistic director of Ailey II, arrives in the island on May 29 to participate in a series of activities, notably of which will be the launch of the visit on May 29 at The Jamaica Pegasus hotel.
Ailey II is the cradle for the internationally acclaimed Alvin Ailey American Dance Theatre and Troy Powell, whose credentials in dance theatre are prodigious, is the second person at the helm since the inception of the troupe in 1974. A distinguished graduate himself of the dance theatre, his choreography is celebrated as premier works of art, and under his direction, the AILEY II dancers continue to captivate global audiences with their technical prowess, interpretive skills, strength and agility.
The Los Angeles Times reports, "The dancers proved indefatigable, virtuosic and relentlessly sexy", while the New York Times states, "The future is theirs".
Chairman of The Wolmer's Trust, Milton Samuda, describes the visit in September as historic.
"Wolmer's has a rich and laudable heritage in education and culture, and the historic visit of Ailey II reflects not only our profound sense of cultural history, but our recognition that the performing arts of a nation embodies, in dance and generally theatre, its identity, its DNA and hope."
The launch this Thursday and the visit in September are part of the many activities that are under way as the Wolmer's Schools celebrate 285 years of pioneering, and significant contribution to education and nation building.
