Les Grands Ballets: Celebrating 60 Years, a New Artistic Director and More
WTF?! Danses Buissonnières Class of 2014 at Tangente
It’s been a tradition for over 20 years. Every September, five emerging choreographers showcase their work as five, 10-minute shorts that make up Danses Buissonnières. Being selected for that coveted bit of stage time can be the launch pad that propels new artists into recognized careers in dance. As we’ve chosen to devote ourselves to one of the most demanding and competitive art forms out there, opportunities like Danses Buissonnières that give new artists a platform to be seen by new publics and media alike aren’t taken for granted. As such, every year there are many amazing applicants, but only the crème of the crop make it past the jury of peers to take the stage at this annual production hosted by Tangente. This year presented an especially talented crew of new artists where some entertained and others blew our minds.
