Current Dolls Season
The Dolls are gearing up for their 2009-2010 Season. Here’s what to look for:
Pas de Quatre (The Oriental Ballets)
October 15-25, 2009
An homage to the Ballets Russes. Comparisons between the legendary Ballets Russes and Ballet of the Dolls have been ongoing since their first performances in 1986. Now, in homage to the style, fashion and radical approach to ballet and in celebration of the 100th anniversary of Ballets Russes, we open our 24th season with “Pas de Quatre,” a deconstruction of 4 ballets made famous by the Ballets Russes: Cleopatra, Sheherazade, The Firebird and Le Dieu Bleu. In true Doll style, these ballets will serve as a way to honor the artists that paved the way a century ago. No classical music, tutus or tights…….well, maybe tutus.
Nutcracker (not so) Suite
December 9-31, 2009
This beloved version of the holiday classic returns to the stage in a new incarnation celebrating Barbie’s 50th birthday and exploring what changes have affected Marie’s mother, Flo, in these difficult economic times. Expect hilarious, touching, and risqué performances, saturated with much merrymaking.
Our Way: Johnson and Rydberg
March 4-14, 2010
The celebrated composer and artist, Steven Rydberg and BOD’s artistic director, Myron Johnson join forces to create an evening of live music and dance. The two worked together for many years creating highly acclaimed original theatre and dance works in the “golden years” of the Children’s Theatre and now can finally rejoice in this much anticipated reunion.
Dance of the Pink Flamingos
June 17-27, 2010
Myron Johnson has frequently been regarded as the John Waters of the ballet world. Bad taste, inappropriate behavior, dark and nasty humor, and a love of all things considered “taboo”. A not-to-be-missed celebration of unacceptable choreography.
Mark your calendars now! Season tickets available now, single tickets will go on sale in September.
