James Sewell Ballet to Perform at CSB James Sewell Ballet will perform Amahl and the Night Visitors at the CSB Benedicta Arts Center Auditorium on Tuesday, Dec. 10, at 7 p.m. Now based in Minneapolis/St. Paul, James Sewell Ballet was established in New York, its home from 1990 to 1993. Although its location may have changed, this six-member company remains steadfast in its mission: to create and perform an exceptionally diverse and appealing repertoire, based in the ballet idiom, in an effort to broaden audience access to dance and to advance the art form itself. Conceived and choreographed by artistic director James Sewell - whose own eclectic background as a dancer, actor, composer, world-champion gymnast and magician has given him a unique command over the human body - Amah! and the Night Visitors exemplifies the company's mISSIOn. Sewell's Amahlincorporates the visual/gestural style ofAmerican Sign Language (ASL) with traditional ballet to provide a compelling experience for hearing and deaf audiences .. . creating a uniquely new "holiday treasure" inspired by Gian Carlo Menotti's one-act opera.
