The&nbsp;Limón
Dance Company’s 80th anniversary celebration bridges legacy and
innovation through landmark new work commissions and powerful
cultural partnerships over 18 months, solidifying the Company as one
of the most vital voices within the landscape of American and global
dance. The company also honors six years of leadership from Artistic
Director Dante Puleio, who took the helm of Limón Dance Company in
2020 just as the dance world went into lockdown. Puleio’s artistic
vision pairs new commissions by brilliant contemporary choreographers
with radical revivals of legacy works by José Limón and his mentor
Doris Humphrey. Six years later, we have celebrated 6 world
premieres, 10 acclaimed reconstructions of iconic dances, 2 historic
museum installations celebrating Limón’s contemporary impact, and
our first Bessie Award in twenty years. The success of his approach
has emphasized Limón’s importance in today’s world, showcasing
how legacy work can speak across generations when it is
contextualized for today’s audiences.

The
program will include both José Limón’s 1958 work&nbsp;Mazurkas&nbsp;and
LDC’s 2025 commission, Aszure Barton’s&nbsp;Join.&nbsp;Mazurkas,
born from Limón’s journey to Poland after World War II, was
inspired by the resilient spirit of the Polish people. Limón crafted
a work of exuberant movement and rich musicality as a tribute to his
dancers and the indomitable vitality he witnessed abroad. The
original cast members were all part of the grueling and euphoric 1957
European tour, which inspired both&nbsp;Missa Brevis&nbsp;and&nbsp;Mazurkas.
But it was the purpose behind the creation of&nbsp;Mazurkas&nbsp;that
sets this work apart, it was Jose’s ways of personally thanking
each dancer with a solo or duet especially tailored to that artists’
particular qualities. Even today sections of the work are still
referred to by the names of the original cast members, providing a
direct line to the dance icons that each section was created to
honor. The work is aptly set to ten mazurkas by Frédéric Chopin,
widely considered one of the greatest Polish composers of his time.
This historical reconstruction comes to life with live piano
accompaniment, and will be performed in its entirety for the first
time since 1964.

The
program will close with the 2025 commission of Aszure Barton’s&nbsp;Join,
created in collaboration with Grammy-nominated composer Ambrose
Akinmusire. Together they have taken José Limón's vivid, poetic
description of a lost Doris Humphrey work and created a new world of
spellbinding movement and transcendent storytelling. Doris Humphrey
choreographed an enormous body of work, some of which are still
regularly performed, some sit on shelves waiting to be rediscovered,
and some are lost entirely. In Limón’s&nbsp;An Unfinished
Memoir, he recalls his mentor’s process and staging
of&nbsp;Orestes&nbsp;with adoration and respect, claiming it
“as one of her greatest works”. Unfortunately the work’s
magnitude, with an orchestral score by Darius Milhaud, made it
impossible to produce, so it never premiered.

Barton
was so moved by Limón's writing, she took his words as inspiration
for a new piece rather than attempting to recreate a lost Humphrey
work. This springboard of inspiration connects the performing artists
steeped in the Humphrey/Limón tradition to the forefront of
contemporary dance making; bridging generations of artists who make
up a tapestry of artistic exploration built over a century. Aptly
titled&nbsp;Join, Barton’s work centers on relationships in
a group dynamic and the complex interconnectivity that joins them.

Has anyone noticed that the only vendor to sell NYC-certified curbside recycling bins is Home Depot? That's called a Sole Source contract and the only reason for its use, as defined by a reliable internet search, is as follows:


"A sole source contract is a non-competitive agreement awarded directly to a single supplier without a standard bidding process. It's typically used only when that specific vendor is the only one capable of providing the required product or service, such as with proprietary technology or extreme emergencies."
Those bins are two separate 50-gallon wheeled models—one blue and one green—bearing an official NYC Department of Sanitation seal. They've been sold out for weeks at Home Depot, and building owners who fail to put them out on designated recycling days face immediate summonses and fines from the city.
This is simply unconscionable.
Does anyone smell a rigged city contract?
