Question
In this ballet, the central dancer in a trio performs a set of pirouettes before holding a position in which his outstretched arms and raised leg form a ninety-degree angle with the standing leg, called the “lateral T.” Nine dancers in this ballet dressed in brown raise up their arms in unison before jaggedly moving them back down to their sides. Blue silk ribbons cross the stage in a scene from this ballet in which a woman holding a white umbrella leads a (*) ceremony. Eighteen dancers hold fans and sit on stools in a reenactment of a sermon from this ballet’s “yellow section,” which was inspired by its creator’s “blood memories.” This ballet, which includes the Lester Horton-inspired “Take Me to the Water,” was premiered by its creator’s namesake “American Dance Theater” and features spirituals like “Sinner Man.” For 10 points, name this three-movement ballet choreographed by Alvin Ailey. ■END■
