Artists in Motion dba Alchemy Ballet presents Minkus to Mingus: Classical to Contemporary Ballet and Jazz. This dynamic, genre-spanning performance offers a compelling journey across musical traditions and dance styles, weaving together classical ballet, neoclassical works, and contemporary choreography set to music ranging from 19th-century ballet composer Ludwig Minkus to jazz innovator Charles Mingus, alongside legendary voices of soul and popular music.
A centerpiece of the program is the world premiere of choreographers Lorraine Spiegler and Luis Serrano’s new work set to Charles Mingus’s evocative solo piano piece, “Orange Was the Color of Her Dress,” performed by Alchemy Trainee Abigail Walker and Guest artist Matthew Mclaughlin, formerly of the Mark Morris Dance Company and currently with Lucinda Childs. The new choreography explores the emotional depth and musical nuance of Mingus’s music, bridging the expressive power of jazz with the athleticism and precision of contemporary ballet.
Additional highlights include Rob Priore’s choreography set to Aretha Franklin’s celebrated recording of Burt Bacharach and Hal David’s “Say a Little Prayer,” as well as a collage of works honoring the music of Roberta Flack including “Killing Me Softly” choreographed by Adrienne Canterna, and “Trying Times” choreographed by Jessica Brown, offering a poignant reflection on resilience and hope.
Purchase a VIP ticket and join Artists in Motion/Alchemy Ballet on Saturday, March 14 at 5:30 pm in the Vault Theater, prior to the 7:30 pm performance of Minkus to Mingus, for a festive pre-show reception featuring live jazz, fine wine, delicious bites, and a mini-silent auction of unique finds. Meet our new Artistic Director, Lorraine Audeoud Spiegler, and the dancers who bring Alchemy’s productions to life. Celebrate with us as we prepare for our move into a beautiful new home this June and continue growing our tradition of artistic excellence and community engagement
