The company will perform three pieces, one by famed choreographer George Balanchine.
Gerald M. Gay Ballet Tucson is trying to create memories you won't soon forget with its season finale,"Reinvigorate," taking place at the Leo Rich Theater, 260 S. Church Ave., Friday, April 1 through Sunday, April 3.
Ballet Tucson will open"Reinvigorate" with George Balanchine's"Who Cares?" a piece that Mullin describes as Balanchine's"love letter to New York and to American jazz." Russian-born Balanchine, considered to be the father of American Ballet, moved to the United States in 1933, and was always fascinated with New York City.
" is trying to evoke a world of warm nights, Manhattan penthouses, cold martinis, and the Astaires smiling at one another with cheerful camaraderie," the review said. Mullin said "No Holds Barre’d," is fun but tremendously challenging, with music from four composers keeping dancers on their toes. The piece has elements of Balanchine, Mullin said.
The evening will end with a homespun piece, a work dubbed"Saddle Up!" by Ballet Tucson's longtime resident choreographer Mark Schneider. The Southwestern-themed work features music by Tucson's own Bill Ganz Western Band and has a little line dancing and square dancing thrown into the mix.
