Program 4 - In Rep
Program 4 commences with acclaimed choreographer Jessica Lang's Shades of Spring, a World Premiere created on The Sarasota Ballet for the Company’s August tour at the Joyce Theater. Next, a World Premiere by Company Dancer Arcadian Broad, who has gained recognition for choreographing ballets for Orlando Ballet, Cincinnati Ballet, and DanceWorks Chicago. The Program closes with a beloved Ashton favorite—Façade, a series of dance vignettes summarized as a perfect marriage of high art and sheer enjoyment, with a generous dash of genteel camp.
"Ashton’s Façade is a series of giggles, poking fun at social conventions, folk dances and music hall frolics." - DanceTabs
