Mark Morris at BAM
Mark Morris Dance Group is performing March 26–29 at BAM, with programmers praising a pared‑down, essential approach to movement — recommended for modern dance fans this weekend. The run was promoted this week and is drawing immediate local buzz. (x.com)
BAM’s engagement runs two distinct programs: Program A is MOON (2025; New York premiere) and Program B pairs V (2001) with Via Dolorosa (2024; New York premiere). (bam.org) MOON is presented as an evening‑length work (55 minutes, no intermission) with costumes by Isaac Mizrahi and projections by Wendall K. Harrington, set to a “lunar playlist” that includes György Ligeti, Marcel Dupré and the 1977 Golden Record. (bam.org) Via Dolorosa is scored for solo harp by Nico Muhly and will be performed live by harpist Parker Ramsay; the production features a set by painter Howard Hodgkin and Program B opens with V danced to Robert Schumann’s Piano Quintet in E‑flat. (bam.org) Performances are staged in BAM’s Howard Gilman Opera House and are presented as part of the Mark Morris Dance Group’s 45th‑anniversary season, with Bloomberg Philanthropies listed as season sponsor. (bam.org) Tickets for the engagement start at $35; BAM’s online and phone orders carry a $3 facility fee and an $8 handling fee per ticket, and the organization advertised member discounts and specific on‑sale windows in late January. (bam.org) A MOON pre‑show family workshop is scheduled at the Mark Morris Dance Center on Sunday, March 29 from 1:30–2:30 p.m., and the run is presented under the billing “Mark Morris Dance Group and Music Ensemble.” (bam.org)
