ONE PERFORMANCE ONLY!:

April 1 (8PM)

Axelrod Contemporary Ballet Theater will present a sensational evening of dance featuring four world premieres by internationally renowned dance artists Blakely White-McGuire, Andrea Weber, and Michael Trusnovec, formerly with the Martha Graham Dance Company, Merce Cunningham Dance Company, and Paul Taylor Dance Company respectively. This once-in-a-lifetime evening celebrates the very essence of modern dance and highlights the artistry, versatility and athleticism of AXCBT’s stunning dancers. The program will culminate with the world premiere of AXCBT’s Artistic Director Gabriel Chajnik’s "Komposition”  inspired by the paintings of Kandinsky and set to music by Erik Satie.

 

Choreographers like architects,  move people through a busy intersection or move bodies onstage with a determined purpose. We commissioned three renowned artists to combine the essence of modern dance with groundbreaking contemporary dance of the 21 century.

 

“Architects” engage the human senses and move the boundaries of our own perception about the physical body.  Artists collaborate to create a new and groundbreaking movement platform, crossing disciplines, experiences and sharing practices.
