Streams

Streams is an abstract exploration of bodies in space, danced to a percussion score by Miloslav Kabelac. This standout work was Alvin Ailey’s first full-length dance without a plot. The movement in Streams is a highly structured yet fluid compilation of solos, duets, and group passages, built chiefly on diagonal lines, all reflecting the meditative mood of the score. Each section of the work is inspired by a body of water, from gentle brook to turbulent ocean, representing the changing emotional tides within us.
