An Exhilarating Night of Dance
This week’s presentation of Aspen Santa Fe Ballet puts an exclamation point on our 2009-10 series celebrating American masters and masterworks in contemporary dance. Following the incomparable Pilobolus and the exuberance of Dayton Contemporary Dance Company’s program of exulted African-American dancemakers, Aspen Santa Fe Ballet turns our attention to exceptional works inspired by the company’s dedication to preserving and advancing dance coming out of the ballet tradition.
The “youngest” company on our series, Aspen Santa Fe Ballet burst onto the scene a decade ago and has since established itself as one of the most exciting contemporary ballet companies in the world, known for its exquisite dancers, wide ranging repertoire and dedication to dance education. Their Portland Ovations’ program showcases ASFB’s aesthetic and continues our effort to introduce new voices while cherishing the works of iconic choreographers.
A centerpiece of the program is the company’s imaginative reconstruction of Twyla Tharp’s 1975 ballet, Sue’s Leg, set to the music of Fats Waller. While William Forsythe’s masterful and sophisticated pas de deux Slingerland wonderfully bridges neo-classical and contemporary ballet. The program is beautifully balanced by the crowd-pleaser Noir Blanc by Moses Pendleton and Jorma Elo’s high energy Red Sweet, an Aspen Santa Fe Ballet commission.
Entertaining, thoughtful, energetic—each of these works offer a different experience for dance lovers while underscoring the skill of Aspen Santa Fe Ballet’s dancers. Exactly what we strive for in all of our dance programming. I hope you will join us for what promises to be an exhilarating night of dance.
