Now until Monday May 4: The 39th International Jose Limón Festival. José Arcadio Limón was a dancer and choreographer from Mexico and who developed what is now known as ‘Limón technique’. In the 1940s he founded the José Limón Dance Company, and in 1968 he created the José Limón Foundation to carry on his work. Born in Culiacan [1908-1972] through his choreography, Limón spoke to the complexities of human life as experienced through the body. His dances feature large, visceral gestures — reaching, bending, pulling, grasping — to communicate emotion. Dance companies from around globe perform at this annual festival to celebrate the contribution of this innovative dancer.
