On View: February 21 - May 8, 2018

Since 1935, 92Y’s Harkness Dance Center has been a historic home of modern dance, nurturing the talents of such pioneers as Martha Graham, Alvin Ailey and Merce Cunningham. In the tradition of these trailblazers, we pride ourselves on carrying forward the art of dance in our educational and performance programs.

Each year we present the Harkness Dance Festival – five weeks of performances with today’s innovators and history makers of dance. The 2018 festival, which runs February 23 to March 24, features a varied spectrum of artists and works, from revivals of classics to world premieres, and reflects the reputation of 92Y’s Harkness Dance Center as the place not only where modern dance was born … but where it’s all heading.

We’re so pleased to present Paul Kolnik’s stunning photographs as part of this year’s festival. For more than 40 years, he has had an extraordinary window into the world of the New York City Ballet and the astonishing dancers who have worked with the company over the years. These images truly capture the exalting spirit of these artists and specifically the “Eternal Present” of Mr. Balanchine’s legacy.

— Christine Chen, Director of Dance and Adult Programming

This event and the exhibition is supported by Producers Circle members Meryl Rosofsky and Stuart H. Coleman.
