The Concert
Jerome Robbins - Choreographer
Frederic Chopin - Composer
Regarded as Jerome Robbins most hilarious work, The Concert is a classic complete with both humor and dramatic storytelling. You will relate to the experiences found in a concert hall including having to switch seats because you and your fellow patrons have confused your tickets, or wanting to switch seats because your view is blocked by a lady’s large hat or the married couple next to you won’t stop bickering.
Vivace
Val Caniparoli - Choreographer
Franz Schubert - Composer
A returning audience favorite, Vivace was created for Tulsa Ballet and had its World Premiere at the Performing Arts Center in the fall of 2003 . Resident Choreographer, Val Caniparoli, was inspired to form a neo-classical work with a twist. Vivace provides pure dancing, on pointe, with no other pretence other than entertaining the audience and challenging the company.
Bruiser
Stanton Welch - Choreographer
Graeme Koehn - Composer
Bruiser reveals the flipside of a dancer’s grace by illustrating the parallel between boxing, wrestling, and other sports with dancer. Bruiser is intended to showcase the athleticism of ballet dancers while perpetuating the question of whether ballet is and art or sport.
