DESCRIPTION:Jul 14-25\, 2026\nIt may be a coincidence that the choreographe
 r Mark Morris has devoted this nation’s 250th anniversary to “Dances t
 o American Music\,” as he’s called the various programs culled from hi
 s vast\, 45-year repertory. But the Seattle native is a pure product of Am
 erica. He’s American in his empirical\, iconoclastic approach to music\,
  disregarding its accrued meanings for what he hears in the score. He’s 
 American because irony comes easily and is a conduit of sincerity. He’s 
 American for speaking plainly when he’s being profound and for making yo
 u feel\, not think. The Mark Morris Dance Group and Music Ensemble ends it
 s American year with enough dances for half a season\, an unusual number o
 f which are returning\, after decades\, from the choreographer’s precoci
 ous\, cocky youth. The three\, rotating programs at the Joyce are music-th
 emed\, with separate nights for early jazz\; country and western\; and the
  “American mavericks” Henry Cowell and Lou Harrison. If you must choos
 e\, opt for the country and western for the funny\, surprising turns the c
 horeography gives the laconic lyrics\, and pick the dense\, sweet modernis
 ts for how they disarm Morris\, unleashing tenderness and ferocity.
