In a momentous co-commission, the Auditorium Theatre and Ravinia Festival are thrilled to present two new works by world-renowned choreographer Twyla Tharp from November 6-8, 2015. Celebrating 50 years of creating dance for both modern and ballet companies, television, Broadway and Hollywood, the program will be seen throughout North America during a ten-week anniversary tour to fifteen cities, honoring Tharp’s five decades of dance-making. The new works, each comprised of twelve dancers—many whom have worked with Tharp over the years—will feature music by J.S. Bach, Henry Butler, Steve Bernstein and John Zorn.
