Blood Memories was originally commissioned in 1976 by the Alvin Ailey American Dance Theater. Under a 1994 commission from the Scottsdale Center for the Arts, Donald McKayle has recreated and restructured this work for the Cleo Parker Robinson Dance Ensemble. While much of the original concept remains, what now emerges in this present version is a new choreographic work.
