Experience the power, passion and sheer physicality of Complexions Contemporary Ballet, where breathtaking movement meets unbridled emotion. Founded by master choreographer Dwight Rhoden and the legendary Desmond Richardson, Complexions Contemporary Ballet is known for its exhilarating blend of classical precision; bold, athletic energy; and technical brilliance. With Retro Suite, the company takes audiences on a high-energy ride through some of its most unforgettable works and also shines the light on For Crying Out Loud, a raw unfiltered work set to U2’s album “Songs of Surrender.” Sixteen dancers move as one, illuminating the stage with energy and purpose. The result is a radiant, soul-stirring performance that touches the heart and sparks hope.
The 2025/2026 Season is Dedicated to the Memory of Glorya Kaufman.
