Twin Cities Ballet artists are excited to present new works on January 29 at 7:30pm as part of TCB’s Choreographic Voices at the Dance Cube performance space at Ballet Royale Minnesota in Lakeville. The evening will showcase new choreography by Michaela Borowski, Garland Borowski, and Natalie Rossi, as well as classical variations performed by Twin Cities Ballet company dancers and a sneak preview of our upcoming full-length production, Pink Floyd’s The Wall: A Rock Ballet.
This event is a thank you to our audience for their support over the last two years and in celebration of TCB’s return to in-person performances. Free admission with a suggested donation of $10, or as you are inclined.
Evening in Roma, choreographed by Natalie Rossi, is inspired by a yearning for travel after recent years of quarantine and restrictions. The piece, in four sections, delves into the lives of different people; some reconnecting, some forgiving, some fun and frivolous, but all lighthearted and set to beautiful, whimsical music by Dean Martin, Aurelio Fierro, and Claudio Villa.
Garland Borowski’s work, Nimrod, is a comedic piece that offers a different viewpoint of the classical dancer. Inspired by stories, teachers, and personal experience, Garland has created a duet that displays some of the daily shenanigans of ballet dancers. Choreographed to music by Edward Elgar, this lighthearted pas de deux is something for all to enjoy and laugh about.
La Vida Breve–The Brief Life or Life Is Short, choreographed by Michaela Borowski, is set to music from the opera La Vida Breve by Manuel de Falla. Against a background of music full of energy, joy, and spice, Borowski seeks to showcase her dancers’ strengths while playing with the interpretation of the music, drawing on the strong musical themes and variation of intensity and tempo.
Join Twin Cities Ballet in this evening of celebration: the return of a live audience and the gift of dance!
