Commissioned by YoungArts in partnership with Aon, Without Further Delay investigates the current moment by exploring elements of isolation, confinement, communality and perseverance. Choreographer Richardson, the co-artistic director of Complexions Contemporary Ballet and a Tony Award nominee has been hailed by The New York Times as among the greatest dancers of his time. The music was composed by fellow 1980 alumnus and Grammy Award winner Terence Blanchard.
