ASPEN SANTA FE BALLET
There will be three performances this weekend at the Power Center by the visiting dance group Aspen Santa Fe Ballet. The company is known for its skillful, contemporary ballet and its reputation for being a ‘uniquemulti- dimensional arts organization.’ Founded in 1996 by Bebe Schweppe, the small company works with dancers and directors from all over the world, incorporating European and American movement styles into their choreography. As they name suggests, the company has homes in both Aspen and Santa Fe. Their repertoire is ‘accessible,’ ‘sophisticated,’ and ‘resonates with an electricism and energy.’ It ‘speaks a complex language’ and ‘challenge its audience.’
If it sounds like too much for you, though, do not fear! Among the three performances, there is one designed for families and young children!Saturday, September 6th at 1 pm (family performance) & 8 pm, and Sunday September 7th at The Power Center.
