Aspen Santa Fe Ballet at VPAC
Aspen Santa Fe Ballet (ASFB) returns to Beaver Creek’s performing arts center for an encore evening of contemporary dance on Saturday, January 15 at 7:30 p.m. Described by The New York Times as, “A breath of fresh air,” ASFB stands out as a model of what a small ballet company should be with its “musicality athleticism, and technique-conscious delivery.” Its versatile and gifted troupe of young dancers, perform an eclectic repertoire of pieces by some of the world’s foremost choreographers. This sophisticated company performs lively programs enjoyable for all audiences. Over the years, ASFB has grown to become a multi-faceted entity, both as an internationally recognized dance company and as one of the largest dance presenters in the country. As the company travels to cities far and wide, at home in Aspen and Santa Fe, it presents top level dance companies throughout the year. ASFB’s umbrella extends equally to its capacity as a center for learning, with a thriving dance school and a much-celebrated Mexican folklóric dance outreach program for children.
The evening program at the VPAC is scheduled to include: “Uneven” by Barcelona-born and Munich-based choreographer Cayetano Soto; “In Hidden Seconds” by Nicolo Fonte with music by John Tavener; and “Red Sweet” by Finnish choreographer Jorma Elo with music by Antonio Vivaldi and Heinrich Biber. ASFB appeals, with its adventurous repertoire and beautiful western landscapes, as a gathering place for the finest dancers and choreographers in the world. The organization remains deeply committed to expanding and enriching the world of dance. With its fusion of classical good sense and western ingenuity, Aspen Santa Fe Ballet blends the best of both worlds to create a dance company that is truly unique.
