Discussion | The Influence of Jose Limon on Latin Dance
Latin choreographers, performers, and thought leaders explore contemporary Latin dance in America through the lens of Jose Limon, as well as other foundational figures in the artform, while speaking to the influences these rich legacies continue to have on current and future practices in the field. Jose Arcadio Limon (1908 - 1972) was a dancer and choreographer from Mexico and who developed what is now known as 'Limon technique'. In the 1940s, he founded the Jose Limon Dance Company (now the Limon Dance Company), and in 1968 he created the Jose Limon Foundation to carry on his work. In his choreography, Limon spoke to the complexities of human life as experienced through the body. His dances feature large, visceral gestures -- reaching, bending, pulling, grasping -- to communicate emotion. Inspired in part by his teacher Doris Humphrey's and Charles Weidman's theories about the importance of body weight and dynamics, his own Limon technique emphasizes the rhythms of falling and recovering balance and the importance of good breathing to maintaining flow in a dance.

Classical Music | Part One of Richard Wagner's Epic Der Ring des Nibelungen
New York Repertory Orchestra; David Leibowitz, Musical Director; Sarah Cambidge, soprano; Kyle van Schoonhoven, tenor; Mark Risinger, bass Program Wilhelm Richard Wagner (1813 - 1883): Das Rheingold, Entry of the Gods into Valhalla Wilhelm Richard Wagner: Die Walkure, Act I Das Rheingold is the first of the four music dramas that constitute Richard Wagner's Der Ring des Nibelungen. As the "preliminary evening" within the cycle, Das Rheingold gives the background to the events that drive the main dramas of the cycle. It recounts Alberich's theft of the Rhine gold after his renunciation of love; his fashioning of the all-powerful ring from the gold and his enslavement of the Nibelungs; Wotan's seizure of the gold and the ring, to pay his debt to the giants who have built his fortress Valhalla; Alberich's curse on the ring and its possessors; Erda's warning to Wotan to forsake the ring; the early manifestation of the curse's power after Wotan yields the ring to the giants; and the gods' uneasy entry into Valhalla, under the shadow of their impending doom.
