Dance Review: Sarasota Ballet Makes Triumphant Debut at Jacob's Pillow
Dance review: Sarasota Ballet makes triumphant debut at Jacob’s Pillow The acclaimed and versatile Sarasota Ballet makes its debut at Jacob's Pillow, the summer dance mecca in the Berkshires. Morah Geist Danielle Brown and Ricardo Rhodes of The Sarasota Ballet in "The American." By Iris Fanger for The Patriot Ledger Posted Aug. 13, 2015 at 1:56 PM; Updated Aug 13, 2015 at 4:37 PM The Florida-based Sarasota Ballet made its Jacob’s Pillow debut on Wednesday night in a well-planned program that aimed to introduce this small but mighty troupe to New England. Now celebrating its 25th season, the company numbers 56 dancers and has made an outsize impression for its ambitions and achievements. Twenty-four dancers made the trip to perform in the Berkshires. Under the direction of former Royal Ballet (of England) dancers, Iain Webb and his wife, the famed ballerina, Margaret Barbieri, the organization is noted for carefully coached and mounted productions by the legendary 20th century choreographer Sir Frederick Ashton and others, including George Balanchine and Agnes de Mille. Webb and Barbieri have also fostered young talent. One of their dancers, the Brazilian-born Ricardo Graziano, is not only performing this week but has also created the world premiere, “In a State of Weightlessness,” set to a score by Philip Glass. The program offered three works that represent various corners of the dance world, past and present. The evening opened with a pretty work, “The American,” by hot, international choreographer Christopher Wheeldon, who is not only well known for his ballets on multiple companies, but also for his hit musical, “An American in Paris,” currently on Broadway.
