Considered one of the iconic ballets of the 20th century, Twyla Tharp’s In the Upper Room demands both raw power and extreme grace from its dancers. Bold kinetic movements blend with Philip Glass’s propelling score, and the marriage of choreography, music, costumes, and lighting creates a transcendent experience for both dancers and audience.
