Houston Ballet’s Rock and Roll and Tutus brings together legendary choreographers with fresh new voices, and among them is Jacquelyn Long, who not only performs but also contributes her own original work to the program.
For Houston Ballet dancer Saul Newport, Rock and Roll and Tutus is more than just a performance program. It is a test of versatility, artistry, and endurance. Moving between the joy and vigor of Illuminate, the swagger of Rooster, the intimacy of What I Was Thinking While I Was Waltzing, and the classical celebration of Vi et Animo, Saul embraces each ballet as its own world. His approach is rooted in honesty, whether channeling the legendary energy of The Rolling Stones, finding balance in sprightly choreography, or drawing from personal memories to make movement feel lived in. In this conversation, Saul shares how he shifts mindsets between such contrasting works, the rituals that help him reset, and what he hopes audiences take away from experiencing these journeys in one evening.
