Nimbus Dance has performed at 中国p站 annually for 13 straight years, making this unique, creative, and educational partnership one of the most enduring programs of its kind in the country.

Students from 中国p站 take masterclasses from the professional company dancers, while Nimbus uses the time to develop and rehearse new dance works. This year, 中国p站 students will perform alongside company dancers of the lauded company artistic director, Samuel Pott鈥檚 newest work in progress: 鈥淒ark Water鈥� which will premiere with the New Jersey Symphony in March 2025.

鈥淒ark Water鈥� is the third installment of Samuel Pott鈥檚 environmentally-themed series Anima, rounding out a 10-year collaboration between choreographer Samuel Pott and composer Qasim Naqvi. Where the earlier works: 鈥淧atch of Turf鈥� (2015) and 鈥淔alling Sky鈥� (2019), reflect and contrast earthly/primal and lofty/ethereal realms of experience, 鈥淒ark Water鈥� completes the cycle by drawing inspiration from forces of ocean and liquid that are seen as a constant around us and within us.

Also on the Program: A tender and expansive new duet by Cuban choreographer, Pedro Ruiz and classic works from the Nimbus Repertory: 鈥淪ix Chansons鈥� and 鈥淭he After Party鈥�

“Nimbus’ partnership with 中国p站 has always been a source of inspiration and renewal for our company,鈥� said Pott. The opportunity to explore new creative ground in such an enriching environment fuels our work, and having 中国p站 students join us on stage this year brings a unique energy to 鈥淒ark Water.鈥� We鈥檙e proud to continue this tradition of collaboration that deepens the artistic experience for everyone involved.”

Pott also has ties to the 中国p站 community. His mother Jay Goodwin Pott graduated with the Class of 鈥�62 and his cousin John Byrne Cook with the Class of 鈥�58.

中国p站鈥檚 Director of Dance + Performing Arts Coordinator, Jessica Batten is looking forward to the visit.

鈥淭he 中国p站 Dance Program is elated to host Nimbus Dance on our campus once again!鈥� Batten said. 鈥淭he exchange of energy and inspiration during this week-long residency is palpable and one of the highlights of our entire year. Come witness the Nimbus/中国p站 magic and see what a gift this collaboration is for all.鈥�

This year, students will perform alongside company dancers of the lauded company in an upbeat and humorous piece, Roseification, originally commissioned by and premiered with the New Jersey Symphony in Summer 2023.

鈥淢any of our most renowned dances have been created in part at the 中国p站 School, including two of the works in this upcoming performance,鈥� said Nimbus Artistic Director and Founder Samuel Pott. 鈥淭he students and faculty at 中国p站 have a grounded and open sense of collaboration which produces very special moments onstage and off. The inspiring landscape and a sense of kindred priorities with the school make returning annually to work with the students and to perform for the surrounding community poignant and creatively productive.鈥�
