    Mesmerizing, complex, invigorating and compelling are just some of the adjectives that describe this fascinating company. Awarded the City of Edmonton’s prestigious Ambassador for Contemporary Choreography Award, Aszure Barton is in huge demand having created works for Hubbard Street, American Ballet Theatre, Mikhail Baryshnikov, the National Ballet of Canada, Sydney Dance Company and Les Ballets Jazz de Montréal as well as the Broadway production of Three Penny Opera. Barton makes her Philadelphia debut with the premiere of Busk, a full-length work inspired by street performers (buskers) featuring street hoofers, hooded monks, compelling video projections and an evocative score by composer and violinist Lev Ljova Zhurbin. Using the idiosyncratic movement of her virtuoso dancers, Barton creates a psychological portrait riveting with humor, sadness, zaniness and unpredictability. Join us and discover this new bright light for yourself! This performance is part of the Dance Celebration Series, presented by Dance Affiliates and the Annenberg Center.
