Bard SummerScape Presents
Lucinda Childs: Momentary Reprise
7:00 pm – 8:00 pm EDT/GMT-4
Lucinda Childs, a defining force in American dance, returns to Bard SummerScape with a one-of-a-kind program of new and iconic works.
Celebrated for choreography that is rigorous, inventive, and hypnotically precise, Childs has shaped generations of dancers and choreographers. This program includes the North American premieres of several major new works, as well as her groundbreaking collaborations with some of the most influential artists of our time. These include her work with composers Philip Glass and John Adams, and two luminaries lost in 2025—the late theater director Robert Wilson and Frank Gehry, architect of the Fisher Center for the Performing Arts. Alongside new short works for her company, Childs—marking her 86th birthday—will perform a solo, offering audiences a uniquely intimate encounter with one of the great living pioneers of contemporary dance.
In 2009, Dance—Childs’s iconic 1979 collaboration with Glass and visual artist Sol LeWitt—was redeveloped and premiered at Bard SummerScape, sparking a major international revival. Today, the Fisher Center remains the place to see the Lucinda Childs Dance Company in the United States, offering an unmatched opportunity to experience her artistry, legacy, and ongoing creative vision.
