SYNOPSIS
LES SYLPHIDES
Choreographed by: Mikhail Fokine
Restaged and adapted by: Claire Hill & Milos Mutavdzic
Music by: Frederic Chopin
Les Sylphides is a short, non-narrative ballet blanc. The ballet, described as a "romantic reverie", is frequently cited as the first ballet to be simply about mood and dance.
MY WAY
Choreographed by: May Greenberg
Music by: Jacques Ravaux
Lyricist: Paul Anka (English lyrics)
This is an inspirational performance dedicated to the amazing Directors of The Graduate College of Dance, past and present. Thank you for your leadership, guidance and sharing your love and passion for dance to the next generation of dancers, and for doing it ‘your way’ during 50 years of brilliance.
LE GRAND DÉFILÉ
Choreographed by: Nathan Coppen
Music by: Carl Czerny
The evening concludes with a spectacular tribute to classical ballet training performed by the next generation of stars. The original concept of Le Grand Défilé was adapted from Harold Lander’s one act ballet Études. Emulating the ballet studio experience, the dancers perform precise, traditional ballet exercises starting small and gradually getting bigger and more complex, and finally ending with a breathtaking finale.
