Led by dance icons Dwight Rhoden and Desmond Richardson, Complexions Contemporary Ballet has awakened audiences to an exciting new genre with their singular approach to reinventing dance and contemporary ballet. Armed with a rich Alvin Ailey lineage and a cadre of 16 stunning dancers, Complexions has been hailed as a "matchless American dance company" by the Philadelphia Inquirer and "game changing" by London's The Guardian.
The company brings to Nashville a dynamic and captivating program that opens with favorites from Retro-Suite, a series of short works celebrating 30 years as a company. The show concludes with STAR DUST, an utterly transfixing tribute to the life and music of David Bowie, full of glitter and glam. This ballet takes an array of his hits and lays a visual imprint, inspired by his unique personas and his restless invention artistically - to create a Rock Opera style production in his honor. With Bowie's 40+ year career and 25 albums, that stretch across musical borders - STAR DUST pays homage to the iconic and chameleonic spirit of what can only be described as… BOWIE. Get ready to witness the raw power and diversity of Complexions as they redefine what ballet can be.
