    AMY SEIWert’S IMA| GERY SKETCH 5 Stirred World Premieres by Amy Seiwert & KT Nelson achel Furst; Photo by David DeSilva. David by Photo achel Furst; R Photo: ImageryPhoto: Artist July 16-19, 2015 asimagery.org Co-Presented by ODC Theater • 3153 17th Street, San Francisco, CA 94110 Dear Patron, Thank you so much for choosing to come to Amy Seiwert’s Imagery’s SKETCH 5. By doing so, you have supported live arts which, in of it itself, is important. But more than that, you have chosen to participate in a unique program. Each year, Amy identifies a theme and invites stunning artists, that she thinks have a pertinent message, to create dances for Bay Area audiences -- dancers, choreographers and composers that we wouldn’t otherwise be exposed to. This year, in Sketch 5 | Stirred, IMAGERY is mixing it up. Seiwert has been collaborating with ODC co-artistic director KT Nelson on a new work. The artists edited each other’s work and interrupted each other’s process, in hopes of discovering something entirely new. This type of collaboration is extremely rare in ballet, and completely new to Seiwert. During an intensive creative process in residence at Zaccho Studio, Seiwert and Nelson worked together on creating a series of solos that explore the theme of isolation. The choreographers addressed questions such as: How does one consider the idea of isolation when not in isolation? How does it feel to be isolated in community? Finally, given the choreographers’ different working styles and aesthetics, an inherent focus of the project was the relationship between process and content.

  • At Zoellner Pennsylvania Youth Ballet Ballet Guild of the Lehigh Valley with the Southside Sinfonietta
    2019 at Zoellner Pennsylvania Youth Ballet Ballet Guild of the Lehigh Valley with The Southside Sinfonietta Karen Kroninger Knerr, Artistic Director • Eugene Albulescu, Music Director The Story of Our Nutcracker Production Performances of The Nutcracker have grown in a great American and Lehigh Valley tradition. The Lehigh Valley’s Nutcracker tradition began fifty-one years ago in 1968. It was sponsored by The Junior League of the Lehigh Valley and was initially performed at the Allentown Symphony Hall, under the direction of Alexi Ramov. Through the generous grant contribution from The Junior League of the Lehigh Valley, and countless volunteer hours, the Ballet Guild’s Nutcracker began. While the Ballet Guild has undergone numerous changes throughout its own sixty-one year history, one constant in the organization’s seasonal calendar has been our annual Nutcracker production. Countless Lehigh Valley children and adults have performed in The Nutcracker production under the direction of Alexi Ramov, Oleg Briansky and Mireille Briane, Aram Manukyan and current Artistic Director, Karen Kroninger Knerr. In addition, several Ballet Guild students have returned as professional guest artists to appear in this annual holiday treat. These alumni include: Peter Degnan and Susan Taylor Degnan of the Pittsburgh Ballet Theatre; Richard Fritz of the Los Angeles Ballet Company; Leslie Jonas of the Boston Ballet; Karen Kroninger, then of the Juilliard School; and Joseph Fritz of the New Jersey Ballet/Metropolitan Opera Ballet. The Ballet Guild has also brought the magic of The Nutcracker to over 100,000 local school students as part of our popular school performances. Because of the initial contribution of The Junior League of the Lehigh Valley, countless volunteers, the Ballet Guild’s Board of Directors, the hard work and dedication of our previous and current artistic directors and dancers, the generous support of our sponsors and donors and the greater Lehigh Valley community, the Ballet Guild is proud to present its 51st consecutive Nutcracker production.
