Come see American Repertory Ballet, New Jersey's leading contemporary dance company, perform Roses and Clover, by Kirk Peterson, Baker's Dozen, by Twyla Tharp, and Rhapsodia, by Artistic Director, Graham Lustig.
Roses and Clover, a charming piece set to the music of the Puppini sisters, "is a pastiche of nostalgia, in...fluenced by the reinterpretation by the Puppini Sisters of these beloved songs," explains choreographer, Kirk Peterson. The Puppini Sisters is a female trio singing classical and modern songs in the style of the Andrew's Sisters. Featured in Roses and Clover will be a mix of songs from the classic "Mister Sandman" to a reinterpretation of "I Will Survive" and the eighties hit by Blondie, "Heart of Glass."
Baker's Dozen, created for Twyla Tharp's company to piano compositions by Willie "the Lion" Smith, is a work that unfolds in relaxed groupings that commence as duets and build from trio to quartets to sextets, finally arriving at dances that include the full ensemble of twelve. "Baker's Dozen, [is] positively lyrical, [and] became a spring walk in the park for lithe, good-looking youngsters." Jennifer Dunning, The New York Times.
Rhapsodia, set to Rhapsody on a Theme of Paganini by Rachmaninoff, was created by Graham Lustig in celebration of his 10th anniversary as Artistic Director of American Repertory Ballet. This powerful piece is simply meant to be joyous and uplifting. "It made my heart leap with joy," Barbara Fox, Princeton Comment.
