Kingston High School sophomore Alex Beaulieu will take part in an evening of classical and contemporary dance performed by a troupe of pre-professional dancers at Bainbridge Performing Arts on April 24-25 at 7:30 p.m. The works include “The Rite of Spring” in a new production by company director Michael Falotico. Set to the pounding rhythms of Igor Stravinsky, it is a celebration of a pagan society to assure the earth’s rebirth. Next, a light-hearted, upbeat “New Work” by Bainbridge Island artist Roxanne Foster is set to several contemporary compositions. Finally, “Dances for Mary of Burgundy,” a neo-classical work by Flemish composer Daniel Sternefeld, offers a reinterpretation of renaissance dances to round out the evening.
Tickets are $15 for adults; $10 for senior citizens and youth. Bainbridge Performing Arts (BPA) is located at 200 Madison Avenue North, Bainbridge Island. The performances include two intermissions and are suitable for all ages.
