naomikage Posted September 19 Share Posted September 19 The National Ballet of Ukraine will tour 16 cities of east US in October. This is a joint tour with the Canadian/Ukrainian folk dance troupe Shumka https://nationalukraineballet.com/ Program https://nationalukraineballet.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/08/Program-with-Updated-Choreography-High-Rez-8.22.20241-1.pdf Portions of the proceeds from the tour—from ticket purchases, merchandise, and individual donations—will benefit HUMANITE and Ukraine House, an organization dedicated to restoring and improving the lives of Ukrainian families affected by the war. Before this tour, the company participated in Fall for Dance with Ratmansky's Wartime Elegies. Link to comment
Drew Posted September 19 Share Posted September 19 I wish their touring program included Wartime Elegies. Link to comment
volcanohunter Posted September 19 Share Posted September 19 Yes, as it stands the program is very disappointing. A similar tour took place in Canada in the spring, which in turn was based on a fundraising gala that took place in Orlando in 2022. It's a shame because the basic cast of Wartime Elegy is the one that's going on tour. But I suppose Pacific Northwest Ballet has something to say about when and where the piece can be performed.
