Alvin Ailey originally created and performed the solo 'Reflections in D' in 1963 as an interlude to give the other dancers time to change costumes between ballets. It has become an enduring work in the company’s repertory—Judith Jamison called it “a tone poem, a quiet, sparkling jewel.” Ailey Dancer Sarah Daley-Perdomo in 'Reflections in D' #AlvinAiley #AILEY

Hey Pillow fans and dance history nerds… this one’s for you! 🫶 This summer, we’re celebrating our 70+ year history with @alvinailey, both online and on campus. Start with "Portrait of Ailey," an 8-part film series about the life and legacy of Alvin Ailey himself — featuring rare footage, interviews, and stories you won’t hear anywhere else. It’s not just a must-watch for fans, it’s also a free educational resource for teachers and students. (Yep, it even comes with discussion prompts and classroom tools!) Then, swing by the "Ailey Connections" exhibit in the Ted Shawn Theatre lobby, where we’re honoring legends like @carmendelavallade, Judith Jamison, and the generations of artists who shaped this iconic legacy. 🚨 And don’t miss the chance to experience the company in action! We’re live-streaming their performance for free on August 22. 🚨 Learn more at @jacobspillow 🔗 #JPDF2025 #JacobsPillow #AlvinAiley #AileyConnections #PortraitOfAiley #DanceHistory #ModernDance #AileyDancers #JudithJamison #CarmendeLavallade #DanceArchives #DanceLegacy [Media Description: A 44-second video excerpt of "Portrait of Ailey," that includes old rehearsal and performance footage of Alvin Ailey and the company dancers.
