Luminario performed a full evening's repertory:
Premieres by: Jamal Story (Complexions NYC), Alexandre Magno (Madonna, Ballet Hispanico), and LA's revered ballet maestro Stefan Wenta's hommage to Chopin in honor of his 200th birthday.
Revivals: "TURF" choreographed in 1991 by Los Angeles modern dance legend Bella Lewitzky, staged by John Pennington; and, "Bouquet" choreographed in 1981 by San Francisco Ballet's then Artistic Director, Michael Smuin.
And, the Led Zeppelin aerial ballet spectacular, "LedZAerial" by Judith FLEX Helle.*
Thanks to all who attended our April concerts at Walt Disney Concert Hall with the LA Philharmonic orchestra! The Luminario dancers were just wonderful, intepreting the cowboy/gaucho North America/South America theme. And what a thrill to perform onstage with a live orchestra!
In May Luminario went to Orange County Performing Arts Center to do a choreography workshop with Nacho Duato's Compania Nacional de Danza, Madrid, who performed there in May. After last year's successful workshop with CND2, Luminario was very excited to be in the studio with the main company this year. In upcoming seasons, Luminario Ballet hopes to acquire a piece from this detailed, emotional and technically demanding choreographer.
Look for us here and there around town where our dancers are appearing--- guest appearing at Le Studio's grand opening June 12th doing a short n sweet duet from our repertory and gogo dancing en pointe June 13th at Pride on Santa Monica Bl and Palm Ave.
*LedZAerial choreographers: Judith FLEX Helle, Bianca Sapetto, Russ Stark, Dreya Weber, Sebastien Stella; musicians: Robin Finck, Tim Alexander, Martin St. Pierre, Ana Lenchantin, Paz Lenchantin, Jeffrey Brown.
