Terminus Modern Ballet Theatre presents an evening of emotive contemporary dance
at Riverside Theatre August, 4 & 5 at 7:30PM
Ballet Vero Beach is thrilled to announce Terminus Modern Ballet Theatre as the invited company for the 10th Riverside Dance Festival. The Festival arrives at Riverside Theatre on August 4, 2023 at 7:30 and August 5, 2023 at 7:30. By bringing together the classical and contemporary dance forms and strengths of each of its principal artists, Terminus Modern Ballet Theatre has become celebrated for the creation of daring and theatrical dance works.
Vero audiences will be treated to the music of Johnny Cash in The Man in Black, a cowboy boot ballet by James Kudelka that celebrates American working-class grit and the man whose gravely voice embodied it so movingly. Six Cash songs, -all covers from the later part of his career, are given visual resonance in a suite of dances for an ensemble of three men and a woman. The choreography, like the songs that inspire it, is an ode to the human spirit, socially congenial yet proudly independent.
The dancers’ humor and storytelling come to life in Confronting Genius, choreographed by Heath Gill. Inspired by a speech written by Elizabeth Gilbert, the dance work is a whimsical take on the relationship between a person and their ideas.
Through performance and contemporary storytelling, Terminus Modern Ballet Theatre intends to expand conventional definitions of ballet and serve as a cultural terminus for the greater arts community. Don’t miss the opportunity to see this remarkable company with its own unique vision of dance August 4 & 5 at Riverside Theatre!
