About the artist:

Matthew Rushing joined Alvin Ailey American Dance Theater as a company member in 1992 and served as Interim Artistic Director from 2023 until this year. At Jacob’s Pillow, he and dancers from the Ailey Extension will present Sacred Songs, A Journey of the Spiritual, commissioned by the Whitney Museum of American Art on the occasion of their groundbreaking exhibition Edges of Ailey. The work resurrects the omitted songs from the original production of Revelations to speak to our present need for lament, faith, and joy.
