Contemporary Ballet, Classic Sinatra and Rockin’ Bluegrass
September 17-19, 2009 | Belk Theater
The 2009-2010 Season of Magnificent Moves kicks off in September with Ballet, Ballroom & Bluegrass in the Belk Theater. Jean-Pierre Bonnefoux’s Shindig returns to Charlotte for the first time in six years. Featuring live bluegrass music from Asheville’s The Greasy Beans, Shindig has received critical acclaim and experienced nationwide success. When NC Dance Theatre performed Shindig in New York City in 2004, an article in The New York Times proclaimed “A lively mix of toe shoes and bluegrass set the audience cheering at the Joyce Theater.”
Also on the program is Twyla Tharp’s ballroom-inspired Nine Sinatra Songs, with music by Frank Sinatra and costumes by Oscar de la Renta. Each dancer in Tharp’s work has a distinct personality, which fits well with the trademark diversity of NC Dance Theatre’s dancers. Rounding out the program is Alonzo King’s MAP, called “exquisitely crafted” and “gem-like” by The Charlotte Observer. MAP is a metaphor for the different paths individuals choose in life.
