Building on Alvin Ailey’s legacy, Robert Battle created New Directions Choreography Lab as a safe space for emerging choreographers to explore new ideas with Ailey School student dancers. The residency culminates in an informal showing of their work. In "Alvin Ailey New Directions," created by filmmaker Steven Tabakin, choreographers Quilan “Cue” Arnold and Maria Bauman explore creative processes as part of the New Directions Choreography Lab working with dancers at The Ailey School, a residency founded by Alvin Ailey American Dance Theater’s Robert Battle.
