dirac Posted Sunday at 08:14 PM Author Share Posted Sunday at 08:14 PM Ballet Austin presents "BELLE/A Tale of Beauty and the Beast." Quote Stephen Mills has been Ballet Austin’s artistic director and choreographer for the past 35 years. He’s no stranger to adaptation – his repertoire over the years boasts vivacious retellings of opera and Shakespeare, ballets that include The Magic Flute, The Taming of the Shrew, and Hamlet. Even his earliest works, like 1989’s love story Red Roses, creep into the realm of fairy tale. Mills appears to revel in folklore with an edge. Gothic colors and whole-chested dramatics. In some sense, all his ballets feature characters on the peripheries. This one’s no different. Link to comment
