This week, we celebrate Alvin Ailey’s iconic work ‘Cry’ with Ailey All Access. In this video compilation, current and former Ailey women come together to dance ‘Cry’ from afar. Tomorrow at 7pm Ailey All Access presents the online premiere of Judith Jamison in Alvin Ailey’s ‘Cry.’ In January of 1972, Ms. Jamison's legendary performance of Cry was filmed for The New York Public Library's archives, but it has not been shown online before now.

For Ailey women, performing all three sections of Alvin Ailey's 'Cry' is a marathon. It's 17 minutes of not only physical effort but a labor of deep emotional expression as well. Constance Stamatiou in Alvin Ailey's 'Cry', video by Nel Shelby Productions. | Alvin Ailey American Dance Theater

On this day in 1971, Alvin Ailey's 'Cry' premiered. He created the solo on Judith Jamison as a birthday gift for his mother and dedicated it “to all Black women everywhere—especially our mothers.” Mr. Ailey called it a “thank you.” We call it a masterpiece. On May 10 at 3pm @AileyExtension is celebrating Ms. Jamison's birthday and 53 years of 'Cry' with a special workshop led by Nasha Thomas, teaching the iconic choreography online and at the Ailey Studios.

The warmest congratulations to Khalia Campbell on her debut performance of Alvin Ailey's 'Cry' while on tour in Copenhagen! 'Cry' is one of the most difficult solos in the Ailey repertory. It's a piece that demands the dancer dig deep into their emotions and bring all of it into their movements and at 17 minutes long, it requires an immense amount of physical stamina. We're so excited to celebrate Khalia as the next Ailey woman to join this legacy of dancers. 🫶🏽 Ailey company member Khalia Cam
