Complexions Contemporary Ballet at Mahalia Jackson Theater

Choreographer Dwight Rhoden and superhuman dancer Desmond Richardson, bring their sleek, daredevil company back to New Orleans. Richardson will be retiring from the company as a dancer
this season, and as a special tribute, NOBA has commissioned a new duet to live New Orleans jazz for Richardson and New York City Ballet Principal dancer Wendy Whelan. This event marks the first time these beloved American superstars have danced together in their illustrious careers.

Complexions Contemporary Ballet is funded in part by a grant from South Arts in partnership with the NEA and the Louisiana Division of the Arts and a grant from the Louisiana Division of the Arts, Office of Cultural Development, Department of Culture, Recreation and Tourism, in cooperation with the Louisiana State Arts Council, and is administered through the Arts Council of New Orleans.
