FESTIVAL BALLET'S UP CLOSE, ON HOPE
Providence Journal, RI
March 7 2007
Hope returns to Festival Ballet Providence.
This weekend and next the company presents its second and final Up
Close, on Hope show of its season. These shows present shorter and
more varied works than Festival presents in its staged productions,
and it presents them in the intimate space of its studio.
This show will feature five works by four choreographers: Mark
Harootian, a Festival dancer; Colleen Cavanaugh, a former professional
dancer and dance company founder who has created many works for
Festival; Viktor Plotnikov, a retired Boston Ballet dancer who also
created many works for Festival; and Yury Yanowsky of Boston Ballet,
who's creating his first piece for Festival.
There are a couple of notable features of this show. Harootian's piece,
18 minutes long and inspired by Armenian folk dances, will include live
music by an Armenian band. And Cavanaugh's piece will also include live
music, with one of the dancers, Carolyn Dellinger, also playing violin.
Up Close, on Hope is this Saturday and next at 6:30 p.m., and this
Sunday at 6 p.m. For tickets, $40, call (401) 353-1129 or e-mail
[email protected]. The company is at 825 Hope St., Providence.
