Memories are stored inthe body, just waiting to be released.
For 2026, founders of award-winning Alleyne Dance – Sadé and Kristina Alleyne – have been appointed as Guest Artistic Directors of NYDC. A multi-award-winning company, Alleyne Dance creates distinctive and powerful work, that is athletic, fast-paced and rhythmically driven.
In a powerful collaboration between Alleyne Dance and NYDC, Memory Keepers is a brand-new work that explores how memories shape who we are.
Inspired by the dancers’ own experiences, the piece unfolds like a living book of memories – a collection of chapters where memories are sparked, remembered, and reimagined through the body. Blending contemporary and hip-hop styles, the dancers become living memory keepers, celebrating identity, connection, and the strength of a new generation finding its voice.
