American Repertory Ballet Brings SIGNATURE DUETS to Hamilton Stage in Rahway
Signature Duets will be a mixed bill - an evening of dance that appeals to a wide variety of tastes and displays the wide range of talents of American Repertory Ballet's professional, international dancers.
Broadway World has praised ARB's dancing and mixed-bill programming at Hamilton Stage: "Performed at New Jersey's own Hamilton Stage - a small but sophisticated theatrical space- [American Repertory Ballet's] offerings are neatly fitted...Small format, but broad emotional resonance. For the most part, these are dances that...burst into fantastic heat and light."..."ARB's fresh, wondering, fantasy-filled approach to motion and color requires plenty of aesthetic intelligence."
Signature Duets features a company premiere of Amazed in Burning Dreams, a work by renowned choreographer Kirk Peterson, former dancer with American Ballet Theatre. It will also feature Peterson's emotionally resonant Tears of the Moon, ARB Resident Choreographer Mary Barton's dynamic and inventive Shades of Time, and excerpts from ARB Artistic Director Douglas Martin's signature story ballets Romeo and Juliet and A Midsummer Night's Dream.
In addition to the performances, ARB is partnering with Contento Dance and Willit Concierge to make enhance patrons' evenings at the theater. For just $10 per person, patrons can take a Latin social dance class with Contento Dance. Celebrate the idea behind ARB's Signature Duets: "It takes two to tango!" The class will be after the performance on Friday, April 24 at 10:30pm at Patria Latin Bistro in Rahway. On Saturday, April 25, the class will begin at 6:30pm, before ARB's 8:00pm performance, in the Fazzioli Room at Hamilton Stage.
