Louis Falco - Caravan (1976)

Choreographed by Louis Falco

Premiered at The Alvin Ailey City Center Dance Theatre

Music Composed and arranged by Michael Kamen - based around Duke Ellington Themes

“Set to Michael Kamen's mod‐sounding arrangement of several popular songs arranged or composed by Duke Ellington, is Mr. Falco's first creation for the Ailey company. It is not for those who like their ballets tidy. The style of the piece is pure Falco, bursting with the bounce, push and fling of his usual movement style—and it works.” - The New York Times
