Dear Northrop Dance Lovers, Northrop at the University of Minnesota Presents What a wonderful addition to our holiday season in Minnesota–a sparkling ballet sampler with the heart-lifting sounds of live classical music. Tonight’s presentation of The Suzanne Farrell Ballet is one of those “only at Northrop” dance experiences that our audiences clamor for. We’re so happy you are here to be a part of it. Suzanne Farrell is a name recognized and respected the world over as the legendary American ballerina and muse of choreographer George Balanchine. As a dancer, Farrell was SUZANNE FARRELL, Artistic Director in a class all her own and hailed as “the most influential ballerina of the late 20th century.” For most of her career, which spanned three decades, she danced at New York City Ballet, where her artistry inspired Balanchine to create nearly NATALIA MAGNICABALLI HEATHER OGDEN* MICHAEL COOK thirty works especially for her–most of them are masterpieces.

  • Restless Creature: Wendy Whelan
    Presents RESTLESS CREATURE: WENDY WHELAN 2016 - USA - 90 MINUTES - IN ENGLISH A FILM BY LINDA SAFFIRE, ADAM SCHLESINGER Distributed in Canada by Films We Like Bookings and General Inquries: mike@filmswelike.com Publicity and Media: mallory@filmswelike.com SYNOPSIS RESTLESS CREATURE: WENDY WHELAN offers an intimate portrait of prima ballerina Wendy Whelan as she prepares to leave New York City Ballet after a record-setting three decades with the company. One of the modern era’s most acclaimed dancers, Whelan was a principal ballerina for NYCB and, over the course of her celebrated career, danced numerous ballets by George Balanchine and Jerome Robbins, as well as new works by more modern standout choreographers like Christopher Wheeldon and Alexei Ratmansky; many roles were made specifically for Whelan. As the film opens, Whelan is 46, battling a painful injury that has kept her from the ballet stage, and facing the prospect of her impending retirement from the company. What we see, as we journey with her, is a woman of tremendous strength, resilience and good humor. We watch Whelan brave the surgery that she hopes will enable her comeback to NYCB and we watch her begin to explore the world of contemporary dance, as she steps outside the traditionally patriarchal world of ballet to create Restless Creature, a collection of four contemporary vignettes forged in collaboration with four young choreographers. Throughout Linda Saffire and Adam Schlesinger’s riveting documentary, we watch Whelan grapple with questions of her own identity and worth. Historical footage shows her dancing as a very young girl in her hometown of Louisville, Kentucky, then as a teenager on her own in New York and, finally, as a rising ballerina with the company.
