The BBC, not to be confused with the British Broad­ casting Corporation, is a Canadian dance company that will be making its Southern California debut in our very own Campbell Hall this weekend as part of an Arts & Lectures program. Over a decade old, this contemporary ballet ensemble is comprised of 16 classically trained international ballet dancers whose mission is “to present ballet of our time,” according to Alleyne. By combining old skills and new fashions, the dance group is working to change the perception that ballet is a dance form out of touch with today’s world and an elitist art form accessible to a select few. “We build upon a great deal of technique and... voca­ bulary of classical ballet, but try to stretch [it] and ex­ plore [it] as much as possible. We try to speak to people now about issues and ideas that are much more contem­ porary,” Alleyne said. In keeping with this innovative approach, the ballet performed by Ballet British Columbia tends to be non- narrative in nature. The reason for this, according to Al­ leyne, is because “both dance and music work a great deal on the subconscious level.” The goal of this style is to make the audience feel the ballet, rather than follow the narrative. Feelings will be a great part of the BBC’s performance at Campbell Hall, as the ensemble’s four programs "all have very strong aspects of love,” Alleyne said. It will be “an evening that [is] extremely beautiful, endearing, If you took the test today... pleasant and warm.” Ballet British Columbia performs Saturday at 8 p.m. and Sunday at 1 p.m. in Campbell Hall.
