(“Through Memory” had its world premiere Thursday, May 22, 2025 at the 92nd Street Y.)

The new feature-length documentary “Through Memory” explores the rich dance heritage of the 92nd Street Y (92NY) while chronicling acclaimed choreographer Aszure Barton's creative process with Limón Dance Company as they bring the new work "Join”—a collaboration between Barton and composer Ambrose Akinmusire, commissioned by 92NY—to life.

​

Filmed over two years, three compelling narratives intertwine: 92NY as a crucible of American Modern dance, the enduring legacy of Limón Dance Company, and Barton's intimate journey of artistic creation. By excavating layers of choreographic memory, the film illuminates how artistic legacies endure and transform, tracing the Limón Company's evolution from its groundbreaking origins to its vibrant contemporary practice.

​

"Join" was co-commissioned by the 92nd Street Y, New York, as part of its 150th-anniversary celebration in honor of and continued support of José Limón's rich 92NY legacy.
