Colorado Ballet is honored to be a part of the esteemed Vail International Dance Festival this year. It is always a thrill to perform in front of new audiences on different stages—especially when that stage is on our own backyard! We will perform a new work by the up and coming choreographer Emery LeCrone. This performance will be part of the Upclose: Premieres on Monday. Aug. 8, and I can’t tell you how excited I am about this performance! These types of festivals invigorate our dancers and our artistic team and challenge the dancers to push the envelope and explore their art form from a fresh approach. Along with the opportunity to perform a new work in one of the most beautiful places in the country—the majestic Rocky Mountains—it also affords us the chance to perform with some of the biggest newsmakers in dance—Christopher Wheeldon, Charles “Lil Buck” Riley, Richard Siegal and Trey McIntyre. This will be one of those performances that will be pure fun and excitement! I can’t wait to see what Emery LeCrone has in store for Colorado Ballet.
We look forward to seeing everyone in the Rockies!
- Gil Boggs, Colorado Ballet Artistic Director
