Check out our photos of contemporary performance Exodus at Alvin Ailey

Alongside its season of past favorites, Alvin Ailey expands its repertoire with several new pieces, including Rennie Harris's Exodus, a piece that considers an escape from conformity in quest for a new, more immediate spirituality. Harris, who has been called the "Basquiat of the U.S. contemporary dance scene," is the superstar who co-created two other Ailey company works, Love Stories and Home, which also appear in this Ailey season.
