Satellite Ballet, under the direction of choreographer Troy Schumacher and producer Kevin Draper, designs collaborations between digital artists, dancers, musicians, photographers and writers. The Dogwood Center premiered their debut production “Empire” in 2010.
The three parts to the evening will include:
PROGRESS – a thirty minute ballet with 7 dancers from the New York City Ballet, multimedia and live music performed on piano, viola, and violin. It is a story in three acts of two people who lose and then find their love for each other. It is also a contemplation of empire and decadence.
COSMONAUT – a story in three acts of one man’s attempt to jump from space. It is a contemplation of heroism and domesticity in cold war America. Cosmonaut is a thirty minute vocal work with multimedia, performed by four experimental opera singers from Portland and four musicians on piano, viola, violin and guitar.
EPISTASIS – a mythical story of two satellites whose growing understanding of each other leads to their birth as humans. This is a thirty minute ballet performed by dancers from the New York City Ballet, includes multimedia and musicians on piano, viola and violin.
New York City Ballet dancers involved in the production include: Marika Anderson, Daniel Applebaum, Sam Greenberg, Lauren King, Ashley Laracey, Justin Peck, and Teresa Reichlen. Musical composers are Nick Jaina and Nathan Langston.
