Part of Hancher's 53rd season

Witness the daring and enduring spirit that defines The Joffrey's maverick legacy. 

Hancher’s favorite dance company returns to Iowa City for the first time in 10 years! American Icons celebrates dynamic works by four trailblazing artists of the 20th century: The Joffrey Ballet co-founders Robert Joffrey and Gerald Arpino, Joffrey alum Glen Tetley, and prolific dance pioneer Martha Graham. The Joffrey dancers will also work with University of Iowa dance students while in Iowa City. Help us welcome a beloved company back to the Hancher stage.
