"WINDOWS" NEWS

"Windows" is the Company's second ballet, with original choreography by Inarra Saarinen and a score by Louis Volare.

"Windows" is a series of vignettes about seeing glimpses of a person's life and loves. Set in the 1950s, we see a woman alone in her apartment, some teenagers dancing in a diner, and an old couple in their home and memories. Have any of them they found their love?

After each performance, there is a question and answer session for those interested in the dancer's view, technical requirements, how the ballet was made, Company philosophy, and so on.

Performances are in the theatre at IBM 10 (12,191,21) every Sunday and Wednesday at 5:00pm SLT. Bring a friend for an evening at the ballet!

COMMENT FROM AN AUDIENCE MEMBER

"Now, granted that I cry easily, but by the end of Act 3, I was in tears.

Thank you for a profoundly moving experience."
