José Limón Dance Company

Acclaimed for its dramatic expression, technical mastery and expansive, yet nuanced movement, the Limón Dance Company illustrates the timelessness of José Limón’s work and vision. Founded in 1946 by José Limón and Doris Humphrey, the Company is now led by Carla Maxwell, who worked closely with Limón before becoming Artistic Director in 1978. The Company’s repertory, which balances classic works with commissions from contemporary choreographers, is of an unparalleled breadth, creating unique experiences for audiences around the world. The company brings “A Lament” a dance performance based on the poem, “Lament for Ignacio Sanchez Mejias” by Federico García Lorca and choreographed by Doris Humphrey in 1946.
