Description

Love is in the air this Spring! Smuin Spring Program. Suite from St Louis Woman: A Blues Ballet. The Naughty Boy! West Coast Premiere and Bouquet. St Louis Woman: A Blues Ballet premiered at Lincoln Center in 2003 by Dance Theater of Harlem, who commissioned the work. Hailed by the New York Times as “gorgeous entertainment”, we are proud to present a Suite from this full length work that exemplifies Michael’s genius at “mixing ballet’s classical idiom with period social dances.” Trey McIntyre, renowned choreographer and founder of his own company, Trey McIntyre Project, set The Naughty Boy! to Mozart’s “Violin Concerto in G Major.” The ballet is a neo-classical playful narrative of Cupid’s effects on four couples. Michael Smuin created Bouquet to the music of Shostakovich. A set of two pieces, the Pas de Deux is a sensual expression of love, and the romantic Pas de Quatre, depicts a woman and her three adoring suitors.
