Now celebrating the 13th anniversary season
in Houston and 16th season since its inception in Brussels, Belgium,
Dance Salad Festival showcases world-class performers from the
far corners of the globe. Modern, contemporary and classical
dance merge on stage to form a magnificent mélange of
styles and music. Dance Salad has presented dancers, choreographers
and companies from the Americas, Europe, Asia and Africa. The
Festival includes a full week of education and outreach activities
culminating in three nights of performance. Each night’s
production is different yet is choreographed as a coherent, expressive
performance designed to interweave – a “salad” of
pieces—creating a compelling whole. Many of the pieces are
performed twice in the three-day format.
Mark your calendars for the
2008 Dance Salad Festival season: March 20, 21 & 22 at the
Wortham Center, Cullen Theater. This year will include
dancers from: The National Theatre Ballet, Prague (Narodni divadlo,Czech
Republic), Japan, and much more!
