Notes

Indestructible Light was created on ABT dancers and filmed during the COVID-19 crisis, while safely quarantined at P.S. 21 in Chatham, New York.  Set to songs from Duke Ellington, Count Basie, Neal Hefti, and Billy Strayhorn (Little Pony, Tricky’s Licks, Such Sweet Thunder – The Star-Crossed Lovers, Battle Royal), Indestructible Light is a celebration of American jazz.

The filmed performance received its World Premiere as part of the ABT Today virtual gala on November 23, 2020, danced by Jacob Clerico, Anabel Katsnelson, Erica Lall, Melvin Lawovi,  Betsy McBride, and Duncan McIlwaine.
