DANCE THEATRE OF HARLEM

Dance Theatre of Harlem returns to Guild Hall for a special evening celebrating the company’s extraordinary legacy through performance and conversation.

This intimate program features two acclaimed works from the company’s repertoire: Blake Works IV (The Barre Project)by internationally renowned choreographer William Forsythe and Higher Ground by Artistic Director Robert Garland. Created for Dance Theatre of Harlem, Forsythe’s Blake Works IV is set to the propulsive, intricately structured music of British singer-songwriter and composer James Blake, whose contemporary electronic soundscape inspires a dynamic reimagining of classical ballet vocabulary.

Garland’s Higher Ground draws on the music of Motown icon Stevie Wonder, weaving together songs including the title track “Higher Ground” and selections from Wonder’s seminal 1970s catalog. Through a vibrant fusion of ballet, social dance, and contemporary movement, the work reflects on themes of resilience, community, and social progress while exploring connections between past and present.

The evening also includes conversations with Artistic Director Robert Garland and members of the company, offering audiences unique insight into the creative process, the history and evolution of Dance Theatre of Harlem, and the artistic vision guiding the company today.
