Join us for a captivating evening of original and varied ballet performances at the Santy Auditorium, on the third floor of the Park City Library. Immerse yourself in a dynamic program that features three original works created this year. All of the evening’s performances will be accompanied by an outstanding group of live musicians.
2by2, choreographed by the BalletNEXT artistic director Michele Wiles, will be performed alongside classical guitar soloist Sophie Stanley. This piece is a breath of fresh air, enlivened by the vibrant rhythms of Brazilian street music.
Experience the profound emotions of Translucent Material, also choreographed by Michele Wiles. This piece takes you an emotional journey and showcases the talents of the individual BalletNEXT dancers. Translucent Material features evocative solo harp melodies performed by Carolyn Mumford.
The evening’s program will feature a **WORLD PREMIER** of Between the Two, a stunning new piece of choreography by Brian Reeder, exclusively created for BalletNEXT. Accompanied by Salt Lake string ensemble StringFX, the performance offers a captivating glimpse into the dynamic interplay between dance and music. This complex ballet marks the fifth collaboration between Michele Wiles and Brian Reeder since 2013. Between the Two highlights the dancers as a community as they explore the intricate relationships that bind dance and music together.
We are thrilled to present this dynamic and innovative program, thoughtfully designed to showcase the remarkable range and versatility of the BalletNEXT dancers. Following the performance, you're invited to engage in a Q&A session, offering you an opportunity to delve deeper into the artistic works and insights about the Company's creative journey.
