La chorégraphie de Michael Pink est un cadeau pour les danseurs, et emporte chaque spectateur dans un monde merveilleux. Les effets spéciaux sont spectaculaires. Il y a les vols bien sûr qui sont magiques, de la pyrotechnie, des décors impressionnants, des combats à l’épée au service d’une histoire qui provoque de belles émotions et qui permet à chaque danseur de s’exprimer pleinement. Peter Pan offre cette merveilleuse possibilité de conjuguer qualité et ambition. Le spectacle n’est pas destiné à un seul public d’enfant. Il a une vocation familiale mais il s’adresse vraiment à tous. Il fédère tous les publics, toutes les générations. Peter Pan est une histoire incroyable, connue de tous. Elle permet toutes les fantaisies, toutes les extravagances Edito de Rémi Lartigue L’aventure de Peter Pan commence en 2010 au Milwaukee Ballet et je ne soupçonnais pas que ma rencontre avec le chorégraphe Michael Pink allait donner un tour nouveau à ma vie. J’ai toujours aimé cette histoire et le ballet m’a enthousiasmé provoquant en moi un choc artistique et émotionnel. Le spectacle devait venir en France. C’était une évidence. Et il fallait tout mettre en œuvre pour y arriver. J’en parle avec Michael Pink qui m’encourage. Je rentre en France, raconte mon voyage, commence à parler autour de moi du bien fondé de monter Peter Pan. Peter Pan est un grand spectacle ambitieux et fédérateur que l’on pourrait rapprocher de ceux que l’on aime voir à New York ou à Londres. Je repars pour Milwaukee. Suivent de longues nuits de discussions avec Michael Pink. Ça commence à avancer. Mais c’est une montagne à gravir. La production est lourde financièrement avec 30danseurs sur le plateau sans compter une équipe technique très importante compte tenu de la machinerie et des décors monumentaux. Nouveaux rendez-vous en France. Le cercle des proches s’élargit et je commence à convaincre mais nous n’y sommes pas encore. Comment faire ? Germe alors l’idée de la création des Ballets de France. Et je monte la Compagnie en 2014. Plusieurs créations voient le jour dont Le Sacre du Printemps, Boléro ou encore Carmen qui continuent à sillonner la France en attendant ce Peter Pan qui sera créé le 15 avril au Palais des Festivals de Cannes. C’est ce type de productions que je souhaite proposer avec Les Ballets de France ; des productions ambitieuses et accessibles, ouvertes à tous, spécialistes de la danse ou néophytes et s’adressant à toutes les générations. Rémi Lartigue Directeur des Ballets de France Edito de Michael Pink L’histoire imaginée par J.M.Barrie il y a plus d’un siècle embrase toujours l’imagination des enfants et des adultes. Avec Peter Pan, j’ai voulu créer un ballet qui s’adresse à toutes les générations et qui soit fédérateur de tous les publics, spécialistes ou simples amoureux de la danse et du spectacle. Il est essentiel qu’il parle à chaque spectateur quel que soit son âge. Nous voulons que les plus jeunes soient émerveillés et que leurs aînés voient là une chance de retourner vers leur Neverland. J’ai situé l’action en 1940 à Londres en pensant à toutes ces vies perdues durant les grandes guerres, à tous ces jeunes enfants qui n’auront jamais pu devenir adulte. Peter Pan est un grand spectacle jubilatoire qui veut ouvrir les esprits mais aussi créer des émotions palpables et réelles. Il était important pour moi de comprendre l’ensemble du message délivré par J.M.Barrie. Pourquoi un jeune garçon refuse-t-il de grandir ? Les terribles rêves qui le hantent à Neverland sontils liés à l’abandon ou à la perte de l’innocence ? C’est la narration qui guide ma chorégraphie. Lorsque je travaillais sur le synopsis en 2005, chaque scène a été une source d’inspiration pour trouver les mouvements d’ensemble et les pas de chaque personnage. J’ai aussi encouragé mes danseurs à improviser en se parlant les uns avec les autres. Cette façon de faire aide à trouver la spontanéité et la vérité des caractères. J’aime que mes danseurs soient totalement impliqués. Il est bien difficile de faire entrer mon style dans une case. Disons simplement que si la technique est classique bien sûr elle se situe plutôt dans une mouvance plus contemporaine. Elle est exigeante et demande des danseurs de premier ordre tant dans l’approche directe de la chorégraphie que de la construction des caractères. Et là je suis comblé par ceux du Ballet de France. J’ai commandé la musique à mon vieil ami Philip Feeney. Nous voulions réveiller l’imaginaire du public et que les spectateurs voyagent avec nous d’une scène à l’autre. Sa musique semble simple et mélodieuse mais elle est pourtant difficile à jouer pour les musiciens. David Grill a signé des lumières qui soulignent la magie du propos et mettent en valeur les décors spectaculaires de R.H.Graham et les costumes très inspirés de Judanna Lynn. Puisse ce Peter Pan rencontrer le même succès en France qu’aux Etats-Unis depuis 2010.

    Milwaukee Ballet Artistic Director announces 2016-17 Dancer Roster Petrocci Retires, Departures lead to New Faces and Exciting Promotions Contact: Leslie Rivers; 414-510-0052 or [email protected] MILWAUKEE – APRIL 18, 2016 – Artistic Director Michael Pink today announced Milwaukee Ballet’s 2016-17 dancer roster, featuring 18 returning dancers, the addition of five new artists; two promotions; the retirement of Marc Petrocci, and the departure of Susan Gartell, Valerie Harmon, and Alexandre Ferreira at the end of the 2015-16 season. Following his performance in ALICE (in wonderland) in May, Leading Artist Marc Petrocci will retire from his dance career after 13 seasons with Milwaukee Ballet. Petrocci will join wife Courtney Kramer Petrocci in Northern Illinois for new career opportunities, while pursuing the completion of his degree in Economics at UW-Milwaukee. “Milwaukee has been my home these past 13 years. During my tenure with Milwaukee Ballet, I have grown as an artist, athlete, and career professional.

Artistic Director Michael Pink applauded Petrocci’s depth of commitment to the Company, his exceptional artistry, and his appetite for learning about the inner workings of a ballet company. “Marc has been a wonderful role model for all the dancers.

  • Milwaukee Ballet Stages World-Famous Dracula Halloween Weekend - the ‘Ballet with Bite’ Celebrates the 20Th Anniversary of Its American Premiere, Oct
    FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE MEDIA CONTACT: Leslie Rivers [email protected]; Office: 414-902-2102; Cell: 414-510-0052 Milwaukee Ballet Stages World-Famous Dracula Halloween Weekend - The ‘Ballet with Bite’ Celebrates the 20th Anniversary of its American Premiere, Oct. 25-28 - MILWAUKEE – Oct. 19, 2018 – Milwaukee Ballet opens their 2018-19 season with Michael Pink’s world-renowned Dracula, just in time for Halloween. The production will run Oct. 25-28, 2018 at the Marcus Center for the Performing Arts. Seen by more than one million people worldwide, Pink’s signature show has been presented in Australia, Canada, England, Japan, New Zealand Norway and several cities in the United States. This marks the 20th Anniversary of the production’s American premiere at Atlanta Ballet in 1998. “Dracula has developed somewhat of a cult following – once people see it, they’re hooked,” said Artistic Director Michael Pink. “I’m incredibly proud of how this production reaches beyond the ballet world and draws in theater-goers, orchestra lovers and people who simply enjoy a good story. I deeply believe our artform can, and must, evolve with our audience and engage the next generation of dancers and admirers. Dracula has achieved this since its creation.” Dracula was created in 1996 by Michael Pink in collaboration with England’s Northern Ballet Theatre Artistic Director Christopher Gable (1940-1998). Widely regarded as a production far ahead of its time, the production has maintained its appeal as a cutting-edge and theatrical presentation of the unique style of “dance drama” that made Michael Pink famous. “I’m focused on creating rich, full stories through dance.

Every program outside of The Nutcracker, presents either world premieres, company premieres or works that have never been seen live by our audiences before. ARB invites everyone to come to the theater and once again connect, converse, and reaffirm the value and meaning dance and live performance have in uplifting our spirits and our communities". FALL 2021 ARB will start the season with a month-long “bubble” residency at Kaatsbaan Cultural Park, a 153-acre artist sanctuary located in upstate New York. Dancers and artistic staff, including ARB’s newly appointed Artistic Associate Gillian Murphy, will rehearse and develop new repertoire in this remote and inspiring environment that can safely accommodate ARB’s growing roster of 13 Company artists, three apprentices, and five ARB2 dancers. This residency will be made possible by The Ted & Mary Jo Shen Charitable Gift Fund. A resident company of the New Brunswick Performing Arts Center, the Company returns to its home venue, October 22-24, for a series of live performances, entitled “Emergence”. This varied and captivating program includes Ethan Stiefel’s Wood Work (created for The Washington Ballet in 2019); Amy Seiwert’s World, Interrupted; David Fernandez’s Mexican Music; and Saudade, created by ARB’s very own Ryoko Tanaka.
