Tuesday July 24th – Photographer Dmitry Beryozkin and I stopped in at the Baryshinikov Arts Center this afternoon where choreographer Claudia Schreier’s newest creation was in rehearsal. The pas de deux is Claudia’s third commission from the world-renowned Vail Dance Festival: in 2016 she debuted there with SOLITAIRE, and last Summer, TRANQUIL NIGHT, BRIGHT AND INFINITE was presented on the Vail stage.
Claudia’s new ballet, as yet untitled, it set to a score by Gabriela Lena Frank which is a joint commission by the Vail Festival and Brooklyn Rider. Two charismatic dancers from Ballet Hispanico, Dandara Veiga and Chris Bloom, are performing Claudia’s pas de deux, while the full company of Ballet Hispanico will also be dancing at the Vail Festival in a program that includes their brilliant rendering of CARMEN.maquia, choreographed by Gustavo Ramírez Sansano.
