Alberta Ballet's annual mixed bill is back for another year of groundbreaking dance old and new. The ensemble and their celebrated Artistic Director Jen Grand-Maitre breathe new life into contemporary classic Allegro Brillante by George Balanchine alongside two modern works, the acclaimed Petal by Helen Pickett and a world premiere from Anne Plamondon, the formidable dancer turned pioneering choreographer.
Taking the vibrancy and softness of the brilliantly-colored Gerbera Daisy as inspiration, Petal was initially created for the Aspen/Santa Fe Ballet in 2008 and has since become a calling card for the choreographer. Celebrating a moments of fleeting human connection, its all-senses-engaging rush of color and abstract lyricism carries much emotion throughout its electrifying solos and exquisite ensemble movements.
