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 (15[1])in unison before jaggedly moving them back down to their sides. Blue silk ribbons cross the stage in a scene (15[1])from this ballet in which a woman holding a white umbrella leads a (*) ceremony. (10[1])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,” (10[1])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■
