The Hannah Kahn Dance Company will open the program with three dances: Calling, Linked Up and a premiere set to music that blends West-African rhythms, vocal harmonies, pop and jazz. With the premiere, Kahn juxtaposes her own idiosyncratic and complex movement vocabulary with this beguiling music. Calling is an uplifting depiction of living a life with a calling, be it a driving passion to create or a spiritual calling. Linked Up uses seven dancers and music of Philip Glass to create an exuberant and soulful world of interconnections.

In Avoca – A Tale of Molly Brown, Ballet Ariel brings to life the amazing story of Margaret (Molly) Brown. The ballet portrays her humble start in Leadville, her romance with JJ Brown, her rise in fortune after JJ found gold, and her bravery after the sinking of the Titanic. The ballet is danced to a wonderful score from ragtime to jigs and gospel performed live by Gossamer Winds. “ A Ballet Company that is becoming an absolute gem…the scene at the sinking of the Titanic is stunning.” - worlddancereviews.com

This performance is part of the Arvada Center’s Centerfest series, which presents performances by organizations which receive funding from the SCFD.

Brown, her rise in fortune after J.J. found gold in the Little Jonny Mine, and her bravery and compassion after the sinking of the Titanic. The title of the ballet ‘Avoca’ is from a poem by Thomas Moore and a town in Ireland that inspired Molly. She named her beloved summer home and retreat Avoca after the poem. The Molly Brown House Museum will provide narration for the ballet and costumed docents will be in the lobby prior to the performance. The ballet will be danced to a wonderful score of 20th century music performed live by the wind quintet Gossamer Winds, an Augustana Arts performing group. The ballet features traditional music alongside music of George Gershwin, Scott Joplin, and Edward MacDowell, who in Molly’s day was considered one of the world’s leading composers. Choreography for the ballet is by Ilena Norton, and the score was compiled by John Richardson and Ilena Norton. Also on the spring program is the Pas de Six from the ballet ‘Napoli’ staged by Patricia Renzetti. This beautiful ballet was first presented by the great Danish choreographer Auguste Bournonville in 1842.
