Curtain Up 2008

One-Night-Only Event!

7:00 p.m.
September 8, 2008
Rose Wagner Performing Arts Center

Learn about the upcoming season from Ballet West Artistic Director Adam Sklute, mingle with staff and dancers, and get a sneak-peek at the original works-in-progress competing to be part of our 2nd annual Spring production, Innovations.

Last year’s performance featured selections from six short ballets created by Ballet West dancers and performed by  members of Ballet West II.  Three of those pieces were highlighted in the 2007-08 Innovations program – Christopher Ruud’s One, Megan Furse’s Le Chant de la Terre and Peggy Dolkas’ “Yes, but how did you get there?”.

“Our dancers are fantastically creative artists, and Curtain Up provides them an opportunity to showcase their choreographic vision,” said Adam Sklute, Ballet West's Arttistic Director.  “In doing so, the program also gives the audience a glimpse at entirely new creations that may or may not appear in our season line-up. It’s truly a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity.” 

Seating is limited for this free event - serious RSVPs only please.

Curtain Up availability is now full and we cannot accept any additional RSVPs.
