Ballet BC, "Renaissance", April 15-17

[Helene]

In the program for "Dance Canada Dance", a performance by National Ballet of Canada and Royal Winnipeg Ballet for the Cultural Olympiad was a flyer for Ballet British Columbia's "Renaissance" program from 15-17 April. According to the Ballet BC website, the performances will be at the Queen Elizabeth Theatre, the venue for Vancouver Opera and NBoC tours.

The program is:

"Herman Schmerman" (Forsythe/Willems)

"Things I Told Nobody" (Galili/Handel, Vivaldi, Mozart, Satie)

"Short Works: 24" (Pite/Belton)

Having been bored by "Herman Schmerman" at NYCB, I would have skipped this, except I saw Galili's "Hikarizatto" in "Dance Canada Dance", and I'm look forward to seeing more of his work.

Pite has made some very intriguing work for her own ensemble as well -- I'd be very curious to see what she does for this iteration of Ballet BC. Alas, I cannot be there that weekend. Will have to depend on the reporting of others...!
