Created originally in 1979 for three performers Ball Passing was an immediate critical and popular success. Since then, there have been versions for 9, 18, 25, 48 and most recently 60 Ball Passers. The work has been performed in major theaters around the world by a wide variety of dance companies including the Joffrey Ballet, The Lar Lubovitch Dance Company, and many others. It has been performed extensively by schools and non-dance groups as well and has been used in a corporate setting to demonstrate how complex systems involving many elements can work efficiently through cooperation and interedependence. Ball Passing has been heralded as a landmark in the development of post-modern dance. |
