Alice in Wonderland Program - Ballet descriptions


ALICE IN WONDERLAND - Alice is a sophisticated ballet for children and grown ups, and features Lewis Carroll's poems set to music by English composers. Alice's trip down the rabbit hole introduces her to the White Rabbit, the Mad Hatter's whacky Tea Party, the court of the Queen of Hearts and ends with a Lobster Quadrille with the Mock Turtle and Gryphon. We're sure you will enjoy the trip!
RED PONY - The ballet Red Pony was first created in the spring of 2002 for the Oregon Festival of American Music (now the Shedd Institute for the Arts) in Eugene, Oregon and performed by the Eugene Ballet Company with the OFAM orchestra under the direction of James Paul. The original music was written by Aaron Copland for the movie The Red Pony and was based on the Steinbeck novel of the same name. However, the ballet does not follow the original story line but simply represents horses in their most basic, wild form. It does reference the title, however, with one mischievous red pony. The ballet is in eight movements for nine dancers and is accompanied by projected images of horses, domestic and wild, in fields and moors, grazing and active. The images were painted by local visual artist, Nadya Geras-Carson.

SOLO IN NINE PARTS - Jessica Lang’s Solo in Nine Parts was commissioned by Kansas City Ballet in 2010. The ballet focuses on the simple idea of making the music visible through movement, Set to Vivaldi’s Concerto No. 12 in C, Lang divides the nine solo phrases the violinist plays among the cast of nine dancers. It is an exchange between dancing within a community and becoming the soloist.Here is what the medi has had to say about this ballet:

“Lang has established a reputation for concocting ingenious choreographic interactions between dancing bodies and the movements of striking set and costume pieces. With this new work she showed she is equally adept at engineering intricate interplay with just nine dancers on a bare stage.”

– Lisa Jo Sagolla, Kansas City Star – Kansas City Ballet, May 7, 2010

“Solo in Nine Parts is ingeniously structured and intelligently worked-out…”
– Paul Horsley, The Kansas City Independent – Kansas City Ballet, May 8, 2010

“The entire piece was fresh and current.”
– Rachel C. Murphy, Present Magazine – Kansas City Ballet, May 7, 2010
