Continuing a 55-year relationship with Cal Performances, the Alvin Ailey American Dance Theater returns to the Berkeley campus for the company’s annual residency with a selection of recent works and Ailey masterpieces. Steeped in the sounds of jazz, blues, and hip-hop, the Ailey repertory celebrates the Black American experience, offering music and movement as expressions of pure joy and as opportunities for reflection and resistance.

It wouldn’t be springtime in Berkeley without Alvin Ailey American Dance Theater’s annual residency at Cal Performances! Led by a world class artistic team, this year, the company brings five unique programs with choreographic offerings from Kyle Abraham, Amy Hall Garner, Alonzo King and more. Several Bay Area premieres will grace the Zellerbach stage alongside masterworks like “Revelations” by founder Alvin Ailey, and a special gala performance on April 4th.
