We are thrilled to welcome the world-renowned Complexions Contemporary Ballet to USC
for a multi-week residency and an unforgettable performance! Led by dance icons Dwight
Rhoden and Desmond Richardson, Complexions has awakened audiences to a new, exciting
genre with their singular approach of reinventing dance and contemporary ballet. Members
of the company, known for their groundbreaking mix of methods, styles, and cultures,
will set two of their works on the USC Dance Company, who will then join Complexions
for the final, not-to-be-missed concert. A gala fundraiser to benefit scholarships for the dance program will be held after
the performance.
"Companies like Complexions are game-changing: they’re forging a path for what ballet
can be instead of what it historically has been.”- The Guardian
