A ballet by Miro Magloire, performed in-the-round by five dancers, to live music for violin and piano
New Chamber Ballet presents Stargazing, an hour-long ballet by German-born Miro Magloire to music by Christian-Frédéric Bloquert.
Stargazing is a rhapsodic fantasy that revolves around the interweaving of music and dance.
Originally commissioned by the New York Choreographic Institute, the ballet dissects two 20th Century classics (Serenade by choreographer Georges Balanchine to Tchaikovsky’s Serenade for Strings, and Balanchine/Stravinsky’s iconic Agon) in a 21st-Century response for five dancers, violin, and piano, creating “a space to contemplate, not only about the work you’re watching, but about what ballet is.” (Leigh Witchel, Dancelog.com)
The choreography is performed in New Chamber Ballet's signature, in-the-round setup, with the audience seated up-close and able to see the dancing from various angles.
Bloquert's score, Memory, Forgot for violin and piano, subtly evokes and pays tribute to Tchaikovsky and Stravinsky's music.
Performers include the dancers Anabel Alpert, Megan Foley, Nicole McGinnis, Amber Neff, Kayla Schmitt; as well as Madeline Hocking (violin) and Tina Deng (piano).
Date and Time: Fri+Sat, Feb 6+7, 7:30pm
Location: Mark Morris Dance Center, 3, Lafayette Avenue, Brooklyn, NY 11217
