  • Juilliard Dance
    Juilliard Dance Senior Graduation Concert 2019 Welcome to Juilliard Dance Senior Graduation Concert 2019 Tonight, you will experience the culmination of a transformative four-year journey for the senior class of Juilliard Dance. Through rigorous physical training and artistic and intellectual exploration, all of the fourth-year dancers have expanded the possibilities of their movement abilities, stretching beyond what they thought possible when entering the program as freshmen. They have accepted the challenge of what it means to be a generous citizen artist and hold that responsibility close to their hearts. Chosen by the dancers, the solos and duets presented tonight have been commissioned for this evening or acquired from existing repertory and staged for this singular occasion. The works represent the manifestation of an evolution of growth and the discovery of their powerfully unique artistic voices. I am immensely proud of each and every fourth-year artist; it has been a joy and an honor to get to know the senior class, a group of individuals who will inevitably change the landscape of the field of dance as it exists today. Please join me for a standing ovation, cheering on the members of the class of 2019 as they take the stage for the last time together in the Peter Jay Sharp Theater. Well done, dancers—we thank you for your beautiful contributions to our Juilliard community and to the world beyond our campus. Sincerely, Little mortal jump Alicia Graf Mack Director, Juilliard Dance Cover: Alejandro Cerrudo's This page: Collaboration

    UPDATED: April 25, 2016 For immediate release: April 21, 2016 Media Contact: Jessica Moore, 970-925-7175, [email protected] ASPEN SANTA FE BALLET ANNOUNCES ITS 2016 SUMMER PERFORMANCE SERIES IN SANTA FE, NM Celebrating 20 Years of Aspen Santa Fe Ballet in 2016 Aspen Santa Fe Ballet celebrates its 20th anniversary with a season filled with world premieres and prestigious engagements around the country. After a busy spring touring schedule that featured highlights such as the company’s debut in Venice, Italy, and the first performance of an important three- year residency at the Valley Performing Arts Center in Northridge, CA, Aspen Santa Fe Ballet will return to Santa Fe for a thrilling summer season! New for the summer are the ASFB premieres of Alejandro Cerrudo’s Little mortal jump and Jiří Kylián’s Sleepless. Cerrudo’s 2012 work, Little mortal jump—his tenth creation for Hubbard Street Dance Chicago where he is choreographer-in-residence—takes a cinematic approach to stagecraft, introducing its viewers to a mysterious place where dancers have dreamlike encounters. Choreographed in 2004 for Nederlands Dans Theater II—and featuring a young Alejandro Cerrudo in the original cast— Kylián’s Sleepless is a tense, enigmatic work for three couples whose movement takes them in front, behind, and even through a large, white backdrop. ASFB’s summer programs also bring back audience favorites from past seasons: Fernando Melo’s thought-provoking Re:play; Cayetano Soto’s vibrant Huma Rojo; Cerrudo’s touching Silent Ghost; and Nicolo Fonte’s celebratory The Heart(s)pace. The repertoire is divided into two programs, A and B: (Program A: July 15-16; Program B: September 3).

  • Bl Les Ballet Jazz De Montréal
    BL PROGRAM NOTES LES BALLET JAZZ DE MONTRÉAL Tuesday, November 19, 2013 @ 7.30PM Centre In The Square, Kitchener photo: Benjamin Von Wong - Danseurs: Céline Cassone, Alexander Hille About the Company An internationally renowned contemporary dance company, BJM - Les Ballets Jazz de Montréal is a repertory company that presents a hybrid form of dance that combines the aesthetics of classical ballet and embraces many other different styles of dance. Founded in 1972 by Geneviève Salbaing, Eva von Gencsy and Eddy Toussaint, the company has pursued its own unique path over the decades. Very contemporary in its current approach, BJM performances are sexy, explosive, original and accessible, and its superb dancers are widely acclaimed. The term “jazz” in the name refers more to a “jazzing up” of classical ballet rather than a musical or dance style. Since 1998, BJM has been under the masterly command of Artistic Director Louis Robitaille. His unerring flair for attracting talented choreographers and presenting high calibre dance pieces keeps raising the bar for his team of performers and stage professionals. Mr. Robitaille has presented works by internationally acclaimed choreographers such as Mia Michaels, Trey McIntyre, Patrick Delcroix, Rodrigo Pederneiras, Mauro Bigonzetti, Annabelle Lopez Ochoa, Cayetano Soto and Barak Marshall. He is particularly interested in supporting and encouraging Canadian choreographers, composers and designers. The work of celebrated Canadian choreographers such as Dominic Dumais, Crystal Pite, Aszure Barton and more recently of Wen Wei Wang have enriched the BJM repertoire. BJM is one of Canada’s most popular dance companies. It has presented more than 2,000 performances in 65 countries to more than 2 million spectators, and is a veritable ambassador of Quebec and Canadian culture worldwide.
