Ballet Fantastique's Experience Dance! Project
is an ambitious series of interactive elementary school
demonstrations paired with a concert of the highest
caliber produced in Oregon's Hult Center for the Performing
Arts. This dynamic, engaging project inspires audience
members of a wide range of ages, backgrounds, and means
while providing local dancers with the opportunity to
give back to the community through exhilerating, informative
presentations.
The Experience Dance! Project is incredibly
unique in that it brings both the professional dancer
and the young student dancer to audiences. In this way,
our community-centered performances bridge the gap of
the artistic process, educating young and old alike
in the long and rewarding process of becoming an artist,
and subsequently making dance a more accessible art
form.
Ballet Fantastique's Experience Dance! Project
sets out to inspire, and inspire it does! The Hult Center
concert features an innovative collaboration with Roseburg's
Traduza Dance Company, presenting both modern dance
and classical ballet through a shared exploration of
Latin/Spanish themes and a shared conviction in the
power of outstanding dance performance. With its energetic
approach and wide appeal, this performance will be sure
to attract new audiences for the arts, while engaging
existing arts-appreciators.
The school performances bring Ballet Fantastique dancers
right to between 1,200-6,400 kids at six-eight Eugene/Springfield
elementary and middle schools, fostering an appreciation
of dance in young people of all ages, backgrounds, and
means-at no costs to the schools themselves. We're giving
dancers the performance-related skills that enhance
their training, encourage their artistic expression,
and prepare them for careers in an increasingly competitive
dance world-all while building a new generation of dedicated
arts-appreciators, appealing to the non-traditional
theater-goer, and asserting the vitality of classical
ballet as a vibrant cultural art form that is very much
alive.
We invite you to Invest in the Arts! Partner with us
in this exciting, tangible effort to ensure that everyone
in our community has the opportunity to experience the
power of beautiful, innovative, world-class dance. Support
