Praised for its dancers who possess the athletic prowess and technical skill to help achieve this mission, the company will be in residency at the Catskill Mountain Foundation from November 2-9 while it works with choreographer Courtney “Balenciaga” Washington on creating a new piece co-commissioned by Parsons Dance and Works & Process at the Guggenheim. The audience will be treated to a preview of Washington’s full-company work, followed by a Q & A with the choreographer. The audience will also have the chance to experience some of the most cherished pieces from the Parsons repertory: Nascimento, Balance of Power, and Caught, along with Jamar Robert’s Juke, his critically acclaimed piece commissioned by Parsons Dance in 2024.
