Gia Kourlas talks to the choreographer about Lazarus, a two-act work (the company’s first) he’s creating for Alvin Ailey American Dance Theater’s 60th anniversary. Harris says he’s basing his movement on GQ, a street-dance style which he says developed in Philadelphia at the time break-dancing evolved in New York.
