In “Avoca - A Tale of Molly Brown”, Ballet Ariel brings to life the amazing
story of Margaret (Molly) Brown.  The ballet portrays her humble start in
Leadville, her romance with JJ Brown, her rise in fortune after JJ found
gold, and her bravery after the Titanic.  The ballet is danced to a
wonderful score from ragtime to jigs and gospel performed live by Gossamer
Winds.  “Ballet Company that is becoming an absolute gem…scene at the
sinking of the Titanic is stunning” worlddancereviews.com

The Hannah Kahn Dance Company will open the program with three
dances: “Calling”, “Linked Up” and a premiere set to music that blends
West-African rhythms, vocal harmonies, pop and jazz.  With the premiere,
Kahn juxtaposes her own idiosyncratic and complex movement vocabulary with
this beguiling music.  “Calling” is an uplifting depiction of living a life
with a calling, be it a driving passion to create or a spiritual calling.
“Linked Up” uses seven dancers and music of Philip Glass to create an
exuberant and soulful world of interconnections.
