Texas Ballet Theater's Modern Masterpieces Opens In One Month

Northern Texas ballet fans are eagerly awaiting Texas Ballet Theater’s Modern Masterpieces, a repertory program featuring three ballets that was originally scheduled to be performed in March 2020.

The production includes Bartok, a neoclassical piece choreographed by Artistic Director Laureate Ben Stevenson, O.B.E.; Image, a one-woman ballet based on the life of Marilyn Monroe also choreographed by Stevenson; and Imbue, a contemporary piece featuring sharp lines and plastic tutus, choreographed by Garrett Smith.

“These three ballets showcase our company’s strengths in neoclassical and contemporary movement, including brilliant storytelling through dance. Truly there is something to please all audience members in this eclectic evening of dance.Mixed repertory programs are very challenging for our dancers. They are required to perform multiple styles of dance in one evening. This not only enables our dancers to grow artistically but shows off their talents in a more spectacular way.”
