SUMMARY:GRIMM by Alberta Ballet
DESCRIPTION:Delve into the dark beauty of reimagined folklore\n\n \n\nThe tales from the Brothers Grimm have been children’s classics for generations\, but these classics\, collected from oral folklore traditions\, have origins in a darker realm. \nAlberta Ballet has commissioned a world premiere from rising choreographic star Stefania Ballone of Milan’s Teatro alla Scala.  With an extensive background working in contemporary and classical ballet\, Stefania will harness the expressive power of dance and delve into the unsettling undercurrents of the Brothers Grimm’s stories. \nThis world premiere also includes a new score from Taketo Gohara\, composed exclusively for Alberta Ballet. \nGRIMM intensifies the dark side of our childhood favourites as seven Brothers Grimm tales intertwine to one spine-chilling ballet. These adult interpretations will create an atmosphere filled with thrills and chills at the Jubliee\, just in time for Halloween. \nGRIMM contains mature content and is not intended for very young children.

SUMMARY:Der Wolf and The Rite of Spring - Alberta Ballet
DESCRIPTION:This double bill invites you into a dark and curious landscape of folklore\, forest and frenzy against hard-hitting visceral scores.\n\n  \n\n[Content Warning: Adult themes with theatrical depictions of abuse\, violence and death.] \nThe Rite of Spring’s 1913 premiere shocked Paris audiences of the time\, evoking more controversy and wielding more influence than almost any other piece of music or dance in history. Nicolo Fonte’s 2014 version maintains the power and drama of the original\, pairing Stravinsky’s iconic score with a libretto that dives into themes of community\, ritual sacrifice and birth and re-birth in subtle and abstract ways. \nIn 2021\, Austria’s Oper Graz premiered a distorted adult reimagining of the fairy tale Little Red Riding Hood. In an exploration of temptation and threat\, our folklore heroine is given three chances to shape the plot of this famous fable. A darker twist on the age-old tale\, Der Wolf explores the struggle between dominance and devotion as a young woman deliberates on a choice. \n\n

SUMMARY:Edmonton | Alberta Ballet Unleashed
DESCRIPTION:INTRODUCING ALBERTA BALLET UNLEASHED\nExperience ballet from three different artistic perspectives powerfully expressed by Alberta Ballet’s company dancers. February’s triple bill\, Alberta Ballet Unleashed perfectly blends classical and contemporary ballet in one unforgettable evening. \nAllegro Brillante\nGeorge Balanchine’s Allegro Brillante\, performed to Tchaikovsky’s Piano Concerto No. 3 is characterized by what Maria Tallchief (the ballerina on whom the bravura leading role was created) calls “an expansive Russian romanticism.” The music’s vigorous pace makes the steps appear even more difficult\, but the ballet relies on strong dancing\, precise timing\, and breadth of gesture. Balanchine said: “It contains everything I know about classical ballet in 13 minutes.” \nThe performance of Allegro Brillante\, a Balanchine® Ballet\, is presented by arrangement with The George Balanchine Trust and has been produced in accordance with the Balanchine Style® and Balanchine Technique® Service standards established and provided by the Trust.’ \nChoreography: George Balanchine Music: Peter Ilyich Tchaikovsky (Piano Concerto No. 3 in E-flat Major\, Op. 75\, 1892 [unfinished]) Staging: Joysanne Sidimus\nCostume Design: Holly Hynes\nLighting Recreation: James Thurmeier\nPremiere: March 1\, 1956; New York City Ballet\nAlberta Ballet Premiere: February 12\, 2020 \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nYearning To Make A Difference\nBe among the first to witness the world premiere piece by Montreal choreographer\, the formidable Anne Plamondon. The piece represents society’s responsibility in a time of tragedy and how small gestures can really affect someone’s life in a beautiful way. Working with Alberta Ballet dancers\, Anne explores movement that expresses how individuals have the power to make a positive impact in the greatest time of need. \nChoreography: Anne Plamondon\nMusic Composer: Oliver Fairfield\nLighting Design: Pierre Lavoie\nCostume Design: Marie-Audrey Jacques \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nPetal\nHelen Pickett’s original inspiration for Petal came from the vibrancy of a Gerber daisy. As the ballet evolved color remained a critical element of the work\, but the visceral movement and relationships between the dancers came to reflect the vigor of wildflowers rather than a hothouse bloom. “The eight dancers who invade\, inhabit and constantly transform the stage space\, perform as if they had been tossed a do-or-die challenge and are determined to transcend their training\,” observed Allan Ulrich of SF Gate. Bathed in the light of hot yellows\, pinks\, and oranges the dancers’ kinetic energy reflects the vitality of spring.  There is also a deeper underlying connection between them expressed through the intimacy of human touch: a gentle caress around someone’s neck or along someone’s neck or inner thigh.  “Intimacy is such an important part of a human life – without it\, we wither\,” says Pickett. “Let’s celebrate this burst of color\, this sound\, this touch.” \nPetal: ASFB Commissioned Work \nChoreography: Helen Pickett\nRepetiteur: Sarah Hillmer Music: Philip Glass*\, Thomas Montgomery Newman** Lighting Design: Todd Elmer\nCostume Design: Nete Joseph \n*Death of the Twins & Elizabeth Chooses a Career from Les Enfants Terribles by Philip Glass.
