Partita

World Premiere: January 27, 2022, New York City Ballet
Choreography: Justin Peck

“Partita embodies the a cappella voices of Caroline Shaw’s Pulitzer Prize-winning composition, as eight dancers oscillate between solo and unison movements. The assembly of these parts makes up a modern American folk dance—one that is performed in sneakers with influence from many different American dance forms.” – Justin Peck
