Brown) announced today that Garth Fagan Dance will bring to Los Angeles Fagan s tribute to the late Geoffrey Holder, Geoffrey Holder Life Fete Bacchanal. Performances at the 400-seat Nate Holden Performing Arts Center (4718 W. Washington Blvd.) in Los Angeles will run February 26-28, 2016,
2 Trinidad-born Geoffrey Holder, who passed in 2014, was a dancer, choreographer, director, designer, actor and painter. Holder is perhaps best known for The Wiz, a retelling of Frank Baum s The Wonderful Wizard of Oz in the context of African- American culture; he won Tony Awards for direction and costume design for the show. The Jamaican-born Fagan credits Holder with paving the way for his own work on The Lion King (for which Fagan won Tony and Olivier awards). Fagan s Geoffrey work celebrates Holder s creative genius as well as his partnership with his wife, Carmen de Lavallade. Carmen started her career in Los Angeles with Lester Horton s dance company (inviting her neighbor Alvin Ailey to study with Horton too) and went on to work in dance, film and theatre. Ebony Repertory Theatre Founder/Producer Wren T. Brown comments, "Ebony Repertory Theatre (ERT) is thrilled to welcome Garth Fagan Dance, for the second time, to the Nate Holden Performing Arts Center. We are especially proud to present Garth Fagan Dance as it celebrates its 45th year as an international dance institution. During their 2014 engagement, Mr. Fagan announced the passing of the seminal Renaissance man, Mr. Geoffrey Holder. Now, one year later, Los Angeles will be treated to the West Coast premiere of his tribute and homage to his beloved colleague: Geoffrey Holder Life Fete Bacchanal. It is truly a tremendous honor for ERT to again present this distinctly brilliant company to the City of Angels." Lewis Segal writing in the Los Angeles Times placed the Fagan Company s appearance at ERT at the pinnacle of LA dance in 2014: But it was American master Garth Fagan who best fused technical virtuosity with conceptual depth. The soul-deep conviction and spectacular flair of his 1983 [Prelude] "Discipline Is Freedom" at the Holden may have been the indispensable dance experience of the year. Prelude will open the Fagan company s performances at ERT. Norwood Pennewell s So You See, which traces a woman s journeys through her life, receives its West Coast premiere as well. Pennewell, who joined the company in 1978 and is Fagan s rehearsal director/assistant, has memorably danced many lead roles in Fagan works and has begun to choreograph himself in the last few years. The program also includes excerpts from Garth Fagan s Passion Distanced (1987), Griot New York (1991) and Woza (1999). Fagan says Passion Distanced, set to music of Arvo Part (whose 80 th birthday year is being celebrated), is "a very important dance for me, and any artist in any field. It is art that reflects "all the trials and tribulations that you have to go through to achieve success."
3 The Spring Yaounde duet from Griot New York features a commissioned jazz score by Wynton Marsalis and sculpture by Martin Puryear. When Fagan was working on The Lion King, he discovered the expression woza, the Zulu word for come which is used in many different ways. The Come Celebrate section is set to music of Lebo M, composer of the African-influenced music for Lion King, and costumes by Mary Nemecek-Peterson, who worked with Julie Taymor on the musical s costumes. Ebony Repertory Theatre, now in its eighth year, is the resident company and operator of the Nate Holden Performing Arts Center, 4718 West Washington Boulevard, Los Angeles, CA Performances by Garth Fagan Dance are at 8:00 p.m., Friday, February 26 and Saturday, February 27 with matinees at 2:00 p.m., Saturday, February 27 and 3:00 p.m., Sunday, February 28.

For reservations call # # # BIOGRAPHIES: GARTH FAGAN (choreographer) Critics have called Garth Fagan a true original, a genuine leader, and one of the great reformers of modern dance. Fagan is the founder and artistic director of the award-winning and internationally acclaimed Garth Fagan Dance, now celebrating its 45th anniversary season. A Tony and Olivier Award winner, Fagan continually renews his own distinctive dance vocabulary, which draws on many sources: a sense of weight in modern dance, torso-centered movement and energy of Afro-Caribbean, the speed and precision of ballet, and the rule breaking experimentation of the postmoderns. Originality has always been Mr. Fagan s strong suit, not least in his transformation of recognizable idioms into a dance language that looks not only fresh but even idiosyncratic, writes Anna Kisselgoff of The New York Times. In 2014, Lewis Segal of the Los Angeles Times wrote it was American master Garth Fagan who best fused technical virtuosity with conceptual depth. The soul-deep conviction and spectacular flair of his 1983 (Prelude) Discipline Is Freedom"... may have been the indispensable dance experience of the year." For his path-breaking choreography for Walt Disney s The Lion King, Fagan was awarded the prestigious 1998 Tony Award for Best Choreography. He also received the 1998 Drama Desk Award, 1998 Outer Critics Circle Award, 1998 Astaire Award, 2000
4 Laurence Olivier Award, 2001 Ovation Award, and the 2004 Helpmann Award for his work on the Broadway musical, which opened in fall 1997 to extraordinary critical praise. The Lion King stage musical has now achieved the most successful box office total of any work in any media in entertainment history. Fagan s distinguished work in the theater also includes the first fully staged production of the Duke Ellington street opera, Queenie Pie, at the Kennedy Center in 1986 and the opening production of Joseph Papp s New York Shakespeare Festival s Shakespeare Marathon: A Midsummer Night s Dream (1988), set in Brazil and directed by A.J. Antoon. In the world of concert dance Fagan choreographs primarily for Garth Fagan Dance. His work, Mudan 175/39, was named by The New York Times as the third of the top six dance watching moments of Fagan has also produced commissions for a number of leading companies, including his first work on pointe, Footprints Dressed in Red, for Dance Theatre of Harlem; a solo for Judith Jamison, Scene Seen, for the debut of the Jamison Project; Jukebox for Alvin for Alvin Ailey American Dance Theater; Never No Lament for the José Limon Company; and Ellington Elation, part of a triad of pieces commissioned by New York City Ballet in honor of Duke Ellington s centenary and New York City Ballet s 50th anniversary. Fagan began his career when he toured Latin America with Ivy Baxter and her national dance company from Jamaica. Baxter and two other famed dance teachers from the Caribbean, Pearl Primus and Lavinia Williams, were major influences on Fagan. In New York City, Fagan studied with Martha Graham, Jose Limon, Mary Hinkson, and Alvin Ailey, who were all central to his development. Fagan was director of Detroit s All-City Dance Company and principal soloist and choreographer for Detroit Contemporary Dance Company and Dance Theatre of Detroit. GARTH FAGAN DANCE Now celebrating its 45th anniversary season, Garth Fagan Dance has been acclaimed as unfailingly original by The New York Times, which also named the Company s piece Mudan 175/39 third of the top six dance watching moments of Tony award-winning choreographer Garth Fagan s dancers communicate with unbridled energy the depth, precision, and grace of Fagan s work. The Company s fearless dancers are able to sustain long adagio balances, to change direction in mid-air, to vary the dynamic of a turn, to stop on a dime, wrote David Vaughan in Ballet Review. Fagan s ever-evolving dance language draws on many sources: sense of weight in modern dance, torso-centered movement and energy of Afro-Caribbean, speed and precision of ballet, and the rule breaking experimentation of the post-moderns. The Company has been cited for its excellence and originality with a New York Governor s Arts Award and has claimed five winners of Bessie Awards (New York Performance Awards): Garth Fagan, Steve Humphrey, Norwood Pennewell, Natalie Rogers, and Sharon Skepple. The troupe has performed throughout the US, Europe, Africa, Asia, the Near and Middle East, North and South America, New Zealand, Australia, and the West Indies. Foreign tours have included a 13-city tour of the Netherlands; appearances at France s Maison
5 de la Danse and Chateauvallon Festival; Turkey s Istanbul Festival; the New Zealand International Arts Festi- val; Germany s Internationales Tanzfest N.R.W.; Switzerland s Basel Tanz; the Israel Festival in Jerusalem; the Vienna Festival-Tanz; Harare, Zimbabwe, with the United States Information Agency; and the Festival of Two Worlds in Spoleto, Italy. In 1994, the company opened the then-newly renovated American Center in Paris, France. In 1996, principal dancers were invited by the Federation Caledonienne de Danse to perform in La Nuit des Etoiles along with members from the New York City Ballet, the Paris Opera Ballet, and the Kirov Ballet. Domestically, the company has performed at such venues as Jacob s Pillow, Spoleto USA, Dance/Aspen, and the first National Black Arts Festival. Performances in New York City venues include BAM (The Brooklyn Academy of Music), City Center, and frequent seasons at The Joyce Theater. In 1993, Garth Fagan Dance went on a national tour with the Wynton Marsalis Septet performing Fagan s critically acclaimed evening-length work Griot New York. The company was seen nationally on The Tonight Show With Jay Leno in that same piece; Griot New York aired worldwide on the PBS Great Performances Dance in America series in the spring of 1995, marking the company s third appearance on that series. Principal dancers Norwood Pennewell and Natalie Rogers participated in The 66th Annual Academy Awards broadcast, joined by principal dancers from seven other major international dance companies. In 2004, the company performed at the historic opening of the National Underground Railroad Freedom Center in Cincinnati, OH, and participated in the grand opening celebration of Frederick P. Rose Hall at Jazz at Lincoln Center; it returned in fall 2005 for its 35th anniversary season in New York City. In 2012, the company returned to BAM for the world premiere of Lighthouse/ Lightning Rod with original music composed and arranged by Wynton Marsalis and scenic design by Alison Saar.
