DIRECTOR'S NOTE
When curating Limón’s works alongside newly commissioned pieces, I look for ways to illuminate different facets of who José Limón was—why he created the works he did, and how those works are in dialogue with the world we live in today.
For this program, I’ve been drawn to both what I know about Limón and what remains a mystery. He was the only male choreographer of his time whose repertoire often placed male protagonists and antagonists at the center. Limón once said that we will truly know him by dancing his works. Stepping into pieces charged with such intensity between two men, I find myself wondering: What was Limón working through? How did his relationships with the men in his life shape his choreography?
This curiosity led me to focus on the struggle of male power dynamics—and the undercurrents of homoeroticism—in The Emperor Jones, and to pair it with the work of Diego Vega Solorza, whose creations emerge from a similar place of inquiry. Born in the same region of Mexico as Limón, Diego brings his own lived perspective, weaving together explorations of male power and his queerness into a compelling body of work. The dialogue between these two choreographers— across decades, cultures, and personal histories—feels both urgent and illuminating.
As we launch our 80th Anniversary season, my hope is that this program honors José Limón, celebrates the artists who have brought his visions to life, and acknowledges the dance makers he has inspired. Most of all, I hope it invites us to reimagine how his work continues to speak to us—generation after generation.
Dante Puleio, Artistic Director

The Chaconne as a dance form originated in Mexico during the Spanish occupation. Bach employed the strict musical form of the Chaconne but enriched it with powerful emotional implications. Limón has tried to capture in his dance both the formal austerity and the profound feeling of the music.
In celebration of our 80 years we are bringing together generations of dancers, from students to Company veterans, to represent the countless artists who have been inspired and touched by the transformative work of José Limón.

A powerful response to Limón’s oeuvre by one of Mexico’s most boundary-pushing choreographers, this new work explores contemporary queer masculinity and the inherited legacies of gender performance in Latinx culture. “This is the Manifesto of the Riders of the New Horizon... those who refuse the order to harden, to mute tenderness, to erase difference. Our rebellion is softness itself, vulnerability that sparks the fire, a gesture that refuses any fixed machine.” - Diego Vega Solorza
Length of Work: 20 minutes

ABOUT THE LIMÓN DANCE COMPANY
The Limón Dance Company (LDC) has been at the vanguard of dance since its inception in 1946. The first dance group to tour internationally under the auspices of the State Department, and first modern dance company to perform at Lincoln Center in New York, it has performed twice at The White House. The José Limón Dance Foundation, with Company and Institute, is the recipient of a 2008 National Medal of the Arts. José Limón has a special place in American culture for a social awareness that transcended distinct groups to address how we all search for commonality. It is with this ethos that we continue to commission works by critically acclaimed and emerging international voices 52 years after Limón’s passing. His works continue to influence the evolution of the art form with their arresting visual clarity, theatricality, and rhythmic and musical life. www.limon.nyc

JOSÉ LIMÓN (Founder/Choreographer, 1908-1972) electrified the world with his dynamic masculine dancing and dramatic choreography. One of the 20th century’s most important and influential dance makers, he spent his career pioneering a new art form and fighting for its recognition. Born in Culiacán, Mexico in 1908, he moved to California in 1915, and in 1928 came to New York where he saw his first dance program. Limón enrolled in Doris Humphrey and Charles Weidman’s dance school and performed in several of their works from 1930 to 1940. In 1946, with Doris Humphrey as Artistic Director, Limón formed his own company. Over the next 25 years, he established himself and his company as a major force of 20th century dance. Limón created a total of 74 works, including The Moor’s Pavane, Concerto Grosso, and Missa Brevis.
DORIS HUMPHREY (Founder/Choreographer, 1895-1958) is recognized as a founder of American Modern Dance. She developed a distinctive movement approach based on the body’s relationship to gravity and the use of weight. The company she formed with Charles Weidman produced great dances as well as outstanding performers, José Limón among them. When physical disability ended her career as a dancer, she became the Artistic Director for José Limón and his company, creating new works for him and for The Juilliard School.
DANTE PULEIO (Artistic Director, He/Him), a widely respected former member of the Limón Dance Company for more than a decade, was appointed the sixth Artistic Director in the Company’s 80-year history, a position that originated with Doris Humphrey. After a diverse performing career with the Limón Dance Company, touring national and international musical theatre productions, television and film, he received his MFA from University of California, Irvine. His research focuses on contextualizing mid 20th century dance for the contemporary artist and audience. He is committed to implementing that research by celebrating José Limón's historical legacy and reimagining his intention and vision to reflect the rapidly shifting 21st century landscape.
LOGAN FRANCES KRUGER (Associate Artistic Director, She/Her) an Atlanta, Georgia native, received her early training from Annette Lewis and Pamala Jones-Malavé, and went on to receive a BFA from The Juilliard School. Her extensive performing career has included work with renowned artists such as Shen Wei, Jonah Bokaer and Adam H Weinert. Logan was a principal dancer with the Limón Dance Company for nine years, and was the Company’s Rehearsal Director for four years before being appointed Associate Artistic Director in 2021. Logan has taught master classes and workshops across the globe, and is a reconstructor of Limón’s repertory.
NATALIE CLEVENGER (Dancer, She/They), from Mooresville, IN and received her BFA in dance from the University of Arizona in 2018. Upon graduation, Natalie joined Dance Kaleidoscope in Indianapolis, IN and danced with the company for three seasons. Natalie joined Limón Dance Company in 2022.
JOEY COLUMBUS (Dancer, He/Him) began his dance training in the Chicagoland area before obtaining his BFA in dance from the Ailey/Fordham BFA Program. He has performed with companies such as RIOULT and Company XIV as well as at the Metropolitan Opera.
IAN DEBONO (Dancer, He/Him), from San Francisco, graduated from The Juilliard School in 2023 with a BFA in Dance. There, he has performed works by Ohad Naharin, Medhi Walerski, Norbert De La Cruz III, Spenser Theberge, and Jermaine Spivey, among others. Currently, Ian is a performing member of The Metropolitan Opera and is thrilled to be joining the Limón Company!
MARIAH GRAVELIN (Dancer, She/Her) joined the Limón Company in 2019 where she has performed and taught nationwide. She holds a BFA from Alvin Ailey/Fordham University (2018). She is on faculty for the Limón Institute and can be found with her camera in hand photographing when not dancing.
JOHNSON GUO (Dancer, He/Him) began his dance training at NYC’s Ballet Tech Program. He continued his learnings at the Conservatory of Dance at SUNY Purchase. Before graduating with a BFA degree in dance performance, Johnson joined the esteemed Limón dance company in 2021.
STEPHEN HALEY (Dancer, He/Him), born in New Jersey, earned a BFA from the SUNY Purchase Conservatory of Dance, where he graduated with a composition concentration and received the inaugural Dance Leadership Award. Stephen is also an up-and-coming choreographer and finds fulfillment in creating. Stephen is also a recipient of the Merce Cunningham Barbara Ensley Award 2025.
DEEPA LIEGEL (Dancer, She/Her) joined Limón Dance Company in 2021. She was born in Calcutta, India and raised in Seattle, Washington. Liegel trained with Cornish Preparatory Dance, Seattle Theatre Group and Leela Kathak Dance. BFA in Dance Performance and minor in arts administration from SMU. Previously with: Mark Morris Dance Group and Metropolitan Opera. Classical pilates instructor and avid reader. Online: @deepaleaps.
TY MORRISON (Dancer, He/Him), from Boston, received his BFA from the Boston Conservatory at Berklee performing works by choreographers Darrell Moultrie, Catherine Coury, and Bradley Shelver. He then joined BODYTRAFFIC internationally performing works by choreographers Micaela Taylor, Alejandro Cerrudo, Fernando Magadan, Juel D. Lane, and more.
OLIVIA MOZIE (Dancer, She/Her), born in Greenville, SC began dancing at the age of four and continued her studies at The South Carolina Governor’s School, graduating in 2020. In 2024, Olivia graduated from Boston Conservatory at Berklee with a BFA in Contemporary Dance Performance. Olivia joined the Limón Company in January 2024.
JESSICA SGAMBELLURI (Dancer, She/Her) is a 2014 graduate of Marymount Manhattan College. Jessica has danced for Graham 2, TED Talks Live, Caterina Rago Dance Company, The Metropolitan Opera, and Buglisi Dance Theatre. Jessica joined the company in 2019.
SAVANNAH SPRATT (Dancer, She/Her) joined the company in 2016. Hailing from Rochester, PA, she holds a BFA in Contemporary Dance from UNCSA where she was a recipient of the Sarah Graham Keenan Scholarship. Beyond Limón, she has collaborated with Madeline Hollander, Hélène Simoneau Danse and the Merce Cunningham Trust, notably performing in the Los Angeles installation of Night of 100 Solos. Beyond dance, she enjoys knitting.
LAUREN TWOMLEY (Dancer, She/Her), born in Brooklyn, New York, graduated from SUNY Purchase with a BFA in Dance and a minor in Arts Management. Lauren works as a dancer and operations manager for Peter Stathas Dance, and is a teaching artist for the José Limón Dance Foundation. She joined the Limón Dance Company in 2019 and values connection, diversity, and play in her artistic endeavors.
EBE OKE (Composer, He/Him) is a composer and interdisciplinary artist working across sound, performance, painting, composition, and visual art. Their formative years on a bird sanctuary in South Georgia (US) underpin a practice that foregrounds non-human perspectives and interrogates the structures that govern identity, access, and inclusion. Ebe’s work draws on overlooked sensory registers—such as the choreographies of animal and plant life, and the tonal language of machines and birdsong—to surface forms of resonance and affective traces that move between species and systems. These expressions invite shifts in perception and offer openings for new forms of attention, relation, and ecological attunement. Ebe’s practice has evolved through a bespoke education, including composition lessons with Karlheinz Stockhausen, and mentorships and collaborations with artists such as AA Bronson, Brian Eno, and Laurie Anderson. Their work has been presented internationally at venues including Tate St Ives, the Serpentine Gallery in London, The Kitchen and Pioneer Works in New York, Punkt Festival in Norway, Art Basel in Switzerland, Dommune in Tokyo, and most recently, the Biogeometry Institute for the Museum of Consciousness in Cairo, Egypt. Ebe’s debut album, SPECIES, explores themes of identity, healing, and non-human perspectives, featuring processed bird and insect sounds woven with precise programming, string arrangements, and treated vocals. Other works include FIELD, commissioned by AA Bronson for a multi-sensory installation, and DOKUMENT #2, a collaborative live album with Laurie Anderson and Brian Eno, released as limited edition vinyl in 2020. Ebe collaborates with the tech startup Wavepaths, which integrates generative music into psychedelic psychotherapy, and is currently a composer in residence at EMS in Stockholm.
DIEGO VEGA SOLORZA (Choreographer, He/Him) is a dancer, choreographer, and co-director of Trazo: Dance and Space Cycle, a platform aimed at making dance more visible in Mexico by bringing it to architectural spaces beyond the traditional stage. Born in Los Mochis, Sinaloa, he began his training in 2010 in Hermosillo under the direction of Miguel Mancillas and Isaac Chau. In 2014, he joined the artistic program at Danscentrum Jette in Brussels, and a year later, he settled in Mexico City, where he has become one of the most relevant figures in contemporary dance. His artistic approach challenges the historical codes of dance in Mexico, using research as a central tool. For him, dance heritage is not a limitation but a starting point for expansion and new possibilities. His work integrates architecture, video, photography, fashion, painting, and sculpture to broaden the perception of contemporary dance and propose new ways of inhabiting it. He has presented his work in theaters, alternative spaces, galleries, and museums across Mexico, the United States, China, Sweden, Brazil, Ecuador, Colombia, Japan, France, Italy, and Spain. Among the institutions and platforms that have showcased his work are museums, festivals, and independent venues that have supported the consolidation of his unique stage language. His career positions him as an active agent in redefining the body, movement, and choreography within visual and performing culture, contributing to the creation of new landscapes for contemporary dance in Mexico.

ABOUT THE JOYCE THEATER FOUNDATION
The Joyce Theater Foundation ("The Joyce," Executive Director, Linda Shelton), a nonprofit organization, has proudly served the dance community for more than four decades. Under the direction of founders Cora Cahan and Eliot Feld, Ballet Tech Foundation acquired and The Joyce renovated the Elgin Theater in Chelsea. Opening as The Joyce Theater in 1982, it was named in honor of Joyce Mertz, beloved daughter of LuEsther T. Mertz. It was LuEsther’s clear, undaunted vision and abundant generosity that made it imaginable and ultimately possible to build the theater. Ownership was secured by The Joyce in 2015. The theater is one of the only theaters built by dancers for dance and has provided an intimate and elegant home for over 500 U.S.-based and international companies. The Joyce has also expanded its reach beyond its Chelsea home through off-site presentations at venues ranging in scope from Lincoln Center’s David H. Koch Theater, to Brooklyn’s Invisible Dog Art Center, and to outdoor programming in spaces such as Hudson River Park. To further support the creation of new work, The Joyce maintains longstanding commissioning and residency programs. Local students and teachers (1st–12th grade) benefit from its school program, and family and adult audiences get closer to dance with access to artists. The Joyce’s annual season of about 48 weeks of dance now includes over 300 performances for audiences of over 100,000. Visit Joyce.org for more information.

LAND ACKNOWLEDGEMENT
The Joyce Theater operates on the Lenape island of Manhahtaan (Mannahatta) and acknowledges that it was founded upon the stolen land and erasure of many Indigenous communities. This acknowledgement demonstrates our institution’s commitment to the process of dismantling the legacies of colonialism and cultural imperialism.
We acknowledge the ongoing violence towards Indigenous people through systemic inequality. We pay our respect to the Indigenous peoples who lived and continue to live upon this land, and whose rich history, artistic practices, and spirituality are tied to this land. It is within our responsibility as a cultural institution and our commitment to diversity and inclusion to embody a commitment to Indigenous rights and cultural equity.
We sincerely invite you as an audience member to take a moment to reflect on the history and legacy of displacement, migration, and settlement.
It is our intention to work with local Native American arts councils to better inform our land acknowledgment practices and anticipate that it will evolve over time.
