Ballet Jörgen; Bengt Jörgen, C.M., Artistic DirectorDance Series
Ballet Jörgen will present highlights from The Sleeping Beauty, the fairy tale about a young woman placed under a spell to sleep for a hundred years only to be awakened by a kiss.
While drawing on the traditional choreography by Marius Petipa, choreographer Bengt Jörgen emphasizes the magical elements and the interpretation of the ballet as a nature allegory. Ballet Jörgen will round out the program with excerpts from other classical and contemporary ballets.
