SUMMARY:A Conversation with BalletRI
DESCRIPTION:Join BalletRI dancers in a panel discussion with Artistic Director\, Kathleen Breen Combs\, facilitated by Shura Baryshnikov. This demonstration and conversation offers insight to the creation and production of a world-class ballet program\, including excerpts from BalletRI PURE DANCE. This ballet celebrates the power\, precision\, and poetry of the moving body. \nFrom the effervescent brilliance of George Balanchine’s Allegro Brillante to the meditative intimacy of Christopher Wheeldon’s Liturgy\, to the raw\, contemporary pulse of Yury Yanowsky’s Fading Creatures\, this program reveals the body as both instrument and storyteller. \nThree choreographers. Three unique voices. One unforgettable journey through movement.

SUMMARY:Special Performance at the new Black Box Theater

Doors open at 5 p.m. The performance begins at 6 p.m. A question-and-answer session and a meet-and-greet with the dancers will follow. \nThe space opened in February with a nearly sold-out performance.

Organizers say the goal is to expand arts programming on Pope’s Island.
