PASCAL RIOULT DANCE THEATRE builds on tradition, expanding the definition of contemporary dance. Known for his daring and imaginative explorations of classical scores, Pascal Rioult creates new work that brings fresh perspective to timeless themes, flawlessly blending his European sensibilities with a strong background in American modern dance. The company offers diverse audiences an experience that speaks to both the mind and heart.
Rioult’s career as a choreographer began in 1984 when, as a principal dancer with the Martha Graham Dance Company, he held an informal showing of his first works at New York’s 92nd Street Y. In 1992, The New York Times dance critic Jennifer Dunning wrote, “If Pascal Rioult keeps on creating the kinds of dances he has been choreographing with such authority for a mere three years, he may have to leave his job as a soloist with the Martha Graham Dance Company and become a full-time choreographer.” He founded Pascal Rioult Dance Theatre later that same year with his wife and fellow Graham dancer Joyce Herring, an esteemed performer in her own right.
Over the past decade Pascal Rioult Dance Theatre has become an established name in modern dance. With a repertoire of over twenty dances, the company presents an annual season at The Joyce Theater in Manhattan and tours internationally. Company performances throughout North America and Europe have received praise from audiences and critics alike.
THE RAVEL PROJECT: European sensibility blends flawlessly with American modern dance to create work that is as technically adept as it is rich with emotion. THE RAVEL PROJECT is an evening of dance set to the lush scores of Maurice Ravel; a perfect evening for fans of romantic music and classic modern dance.
