"Katarzyna Skarpetowska's 'Sextette' features six dancers exploring various levels of physical intimacy, set to Bach's 'Violin Concerto No. 1 in A Minor.' The choreography demands a great deal of en pointe steps, executed gracefully, evoking a sense of playfulness."
"Michael Smuin's 'Hearts Suite' presents a classic commedia dell'arte clown and his love interest, featuring a natural sense of melancholy enhanced by Édith Piaf's music. The chemistry between Buehler and Rogers is notable, with Rogers' stage presence slightly overshadowing Buehler."
'Future Forward' showcases a blend of classic and contemporary ballet pieces, including Katarzyna Skarpetowska's playful 'Sextette' and Michael Smuin's poignant 'Hearts Suite.' The performance explores themes of intimacy and melancholy, with strong chemistry between dancers. The program also includes world premieres, emphasizing the evolution of ballet while maintaining connections to its roots. The title reflects a conversation about lineage, though some suggest 'Connections' may better capture the essence of the show.
