About the works:
Benjamin Briones Ballet
Love is patient, love is kind, but more specifically it is all-encompassing. Benjamin Briones Ballet recognizes the significance of Empathy in truly fathoming and experiencing Love. Where Love is home base, Empathy is akin to the designated driver that gets us there in one piece when emotions swirl high, overcomplicating the beauty and ease that Love is supposed to be. Empathy is the North Star that guides us back home where Love faithfully resides. Benjamin Briones Ballet presents “Love and Empathy”, inviting the audience in for a warm embrace that knows no bounds - where Love is on display in its powerful, graceful and resilient glory.

 

Alison Cook-Beatty Dance
JOYFUL OFFERING is set to Bach's three-part movement Oboe Concerto. This group piece was choreographed by Alison Cook-Beatty, the Artistic Director, over the course of two years and is an offering of the joy of dance and music to all.

ECHOES OF WAR, choreographed by Ms. Cook-Beatty in 2022 when the Ukraine War began. Alison chose the music of “Different Trains: After The War” by Steve Reich, Kronos Quartet (Section 3), and was inspired by the people of Ukraine in the early weeks of the onset of that war.
