Ballet BC announces Program I of its 2017/18 Season

Queen Elizabeth Theatre02 Nov '17 to 04 Nov '17 @ 8:00 PM - 10:00 PM
  • Ballet BC announces Program I of its 2017/18 Season
Ballet BC opens its 32nd Anniversary season with an evening of visual storytelling by two celebrated dance artists at the Queen Elizabeth Theatre, November 2-4 at 8:00pm. Passionate and distinctly talented, Ballet BC’s company of dancers captivate audiences on home, national and global stages. Like never before, each collaboration, each performance punctuates a story of diversity, evolving practice and scope of artistic vision.  This exciting program includes both a World Premiere and a North American Premiere.
 
Contemporary yet timeless, the season begins with a driving new work by internationally acclaimed Ballet BC Resident Choreographer Cayetano Soto and the North American debut of B.R.I.S.A. by Swedish-born Johan Inger, one of the most sought-after choreographers in Europe today.
 
“This season we are delighted to be sharing our stage with some of the most exciting and visionary voices in dance today starting with the much-anticipated return of Cayetano Soto and Johan Inger in Program 1,” says Ballet BC Artistic Director Emily Molnar. “Dance at its best is transformational. It can transform a city, a room, a person, a way of seeing things. Our commitment to developing dance and art is a clear manifestation of our unique conversation with all of you—our community.”
 
To launch the season, Cayetano Soto, a visionary of contemporary ballet, will create a new one-act work for the full company.  This World Premiere will bring together his integrated vision as choreographer, costume and lighting designer in surprising new ways. An intuitive and masterful designer of movement and space, cited by Dance Europe as having "an abundance of originality," Soto commands his audiences to dive into intriguing worlds of curiosity and discovery with his choreography.
In B.R.I.S.A., Inger explores the themes of awakening and change.
 
PROGRAM I plays the Queen Elizabeth Theatre at 8:00pm November 2-4, 2017. Tickets range from $30.00 to $100.00 (including service charges) and can be purchased through Ticketmaster at 1-855-985-2787 (855-985-ARTS) or online at ticketmaster.ca. For more information, visit balletbc.com
