Long steeped in Graham technique as both performer and educator, Buglisi as choreographer is best known for “Table of Silence,” the quietly moving 9/11 community remembrance that she created in 2011. It is performed annually outdoors at New York’s Lincoln Center. The premiere “Illuminations” brings a similar ritual indoors on a smaller scale, which feels a bit contained. The work includes poet Marc Bamuthi Joseph’s spoken word, recited by Capucilli and Dakin, and composer Daniel Bernard Roumain’s commissioned score, which he performs. 

In a departure from the otherwise all-Buglisi program, each of the five sections of the premiere “The Threads Project” is credited to a different choreographer: Jesse Obremski, Jennifer Archibald, Buglisi, PeiJu Chien-Pott, or Blakeley White-McGuire and Daniel Fetecua. White-McGlure and Fetecua’s quartet “Two Couples,” danced by the choreographers and Greta Campo and Zachary Jeppsen, is striking. At one point, both women balance atop the prone men, their feet resting on the men’s foreheads. There is also a moment when the women kneel on the men’s backs as they crawl across the floor. The clamshell shape that the golden skirts take as the women spiraled to the floor lingers.
