IGAL PERRY REPERTORY
Intervals
[2022]
Music: Arvo Pärt
Costumes: Erica Johnston
3 Dancers, 6 minutes
We often experience life as a continuous stream of events, which seem to present themselves in a circular, repetitive manner. But prevalent within this perpetual motion are the Intervals - the unexpected encounters, the moments of contemplation, which often drive us to change our course.
Bolero
[1983]
Choreography: Igal Perry
Music: Maurice Ravel
12 Dancers, 16 minutes
Bolero was first created on the Batsheva Dance Company in 1983 for a special evening with the Israel Philharmonic. Since then, Perry has also set the work on other companies such as Companhia de Danca de Lisboa (Portugal) and Alberta Ballet (Canada). PCDC premiered Bolero at Riverside Dance Festival in 1986 and it has been a staple of the company ever since.

Oceans
[2021]
Original Music: Amit Weiner
Costumes: Erica Johnston
12 Dancers, 25 minutes
This work embodies the contradictions inherent in the motion of oceans, which attack and retreat and simultaneously separate and connect the lands they engulf. In line with its title, the work dares to be vast, powerful and ever-shifting, both turbulent and calm, using the entire company to flood the stage with rippling and crashing patterns.
Twilight

Music: Frédéric Chopin
Costumes: Erica Johnston
6 Dancers, 20 minutes
Twilight was originally commissioned in 2005 for the dancers of Joffrey II and has been reimagined on Peridance today.This work embodies the myriad of textures that are famous in Chopin’s compositions and is a testament to Perry’s pure and elegant interpretation of the music.
