Jane Ira Bloom/Carmen Delavallade World Premiere at City Center Fall for Dance Festival

Announcing the world premiere of “The 5th Wheel", dancer/ choreographer Carmen deLavallade's and saxophonist/ composer Jane Ira Bloom's new collaborative work performed on Friday, September 28, 8:00pm at NY City Center Fall for Dance Festival.

“The 5th Wheel" is the latest piece in a continuing collaboration between legendary dancer/ choreographer Carmen deLavallade and innovative saxophonist/composer Jane Ira Bloom. It explores the spatial and sonic relationships between a dancer on wheels and a jazz quartet with one musician on the loose. The music based on Bloom's original piece Ice Dancing features a quartet of renowned jazz improvisers including bassist Rufus Reid, drummer Jerry Granelli, and pianist Dawn Clement and is the springboard for Ms. deLavallade's playful and evocative choreography.
