Wallis Annenberg Center for the Performing Arts (Beverly Hills, CA)
A flourish of trumpets heralds the celebration of Twyla Tharp’s 50th anniversary as one of the nation’s preeminent choreographers. The Wallis Annenberg Center for the Performing Arts in Beverly Hills hosts this anniversary tour honoring one of the century’s most treasured artists. By combining different forms of movement, such as jazz, ballet, boxing and inventions of her own making, her work pushes the boundaries of ballet and modern dance. She’s choreographed Hollywood films, television specials, Broadway shows, full-length ballets and figure-skating routines and won a National Medal of the Arts, two Emmys and a Tony for her efforts. John Zorn provides this reverent show’s vibrant introductory Fanfare, followed by brand new works Preludes and Fugues, set to J.S. Bach’s “Well-Tempered Clavier” and Yowzie, set to the raucous humor of Henry Butler and Steve Bernstein’s jazz.
