Available Light
John Adams, music
Lucinda Childs, choreography
Frank O. Gehry, stage designer
Performed by the Lucinda Childs Dance Company
Join us in celebrating the 70th birthday of Berkeley's own internationally renowned composer and Cal Performances collaborator John Adams. Lucinda Childs' Available Light, hailed in its 1983 premiere as "a career breakthrough...a work of blazing formal beauty" (The New York Times), is set to Adams' richly impressionistic score (Light Over Water), with a striking set designed by Frank Gehry. Childs, whose choreography last graced Bay Area stages in Einstein on the Beach, returns with her company for this Cal Performances co-commissioned revival—a rare opportunity to experience the collaborative work of these three visionary artists.
