HOT LATIN DANCE COMES TO PEROT THEATRE STAGE

Mon, 26 Oct 2009 08:26:13 EST

HOT LATIN DANCE COMES TO PEROT THEATRE STAGE “The Latin-American experience at last has a voice in the feisty, elegant dancing of Ballet Hispanico.” New York Times "Quite simply stellar; gorgeous to look at, thrilling to watch."Chicago Sun TimesThe sensual, sophisticated and expressive BALLET HISPANICO takes the Historic Perot Theatre stage on Thursday, October 29 at 7:30pm, presented by TRAHC, the Texarkana Regional Arts and Humanities Council and sponsored in part by the Texarkana Community Ballet. Additional funding comes from Mid-America Arts Alliance with the National Endowment for the Arts and the Arkansas Arts Council. For ticket holders, a free Latin Social Dance is scheduled for the Regional Arts Center at 6:00pm, with lessons! Get a jump on learning October 15 at the Regional Arts Center, 4th and Texas Blvd. TRAHC's free, informal Occasional Thursday starts with refreshments at 6:30pm. Then,TALO, the TexArk Latino Organization takes the floor with "SALSA, SAMBA & CHA-CHA-CHA" showcasing and teaching some of the most well-known "moves." Additionally, Ballet Folklorico Alma Latino de Texarkana will showcase their style dressed in traditional costumes with authentic music. A fun evening for all ages! OCTOBER 29th: NO tights or tutu's on this night! The company's construction of ballet is more like a giant dance party than Swan Lake! It integrates elements of salsa, rumba, flamenco, jazz, and a whole array of other Latino dance styles with contemporary and classical ballet forms. The result is an combination of sizzling hot hip-shaking, grace, and all the theatricality of the tango. They have definitely captured the heart and soul of the Latin culture by weaving ballet and intoxicating Hispanic dance techniques into fiery contemporary works. In fact, their repertoire features a strikingly original “vocabulary” that combines the attitudes and energies of street dance, the shapes of modern dance, and the linear clarity of classical ballet. This exceptionally talented crew of professional dancers from New York couldn’t be better suited to pull it off. Since its inception, BALLET HISPANICO has roused audiences worldwide with its magnetic energy and vivacious choreography. Under the watchful eye of Artistic Director Eduardo Vilaro, its 13 members perform works by the foremost Latino choreographers of our time as well as those of emerging artists. Their style creates a new sphere of concert dance propelled by passion. Over 77 pieces have been commissioned for the Company, conveying a spirit of pride and affinity to audiences in the millions. When Tina Ramirez founded BALLET HISPANICO nearly 40 years ago, she intended simply to give inner city Hispanics a “voice in dance.” The company has since flourished to more than a voice – it’s an exclamation that’s been heard loud and clear around the world. This troupe has performed for over 2 million people, throughout 11 countries, on 3 continents. Their Texarkana performance marks one of only two performances in the South on this tour. Tickets for BALLET HISPANICO are $45, $41, $36, $32*, and $8 with group and half-price* student discounts.

TRAHC presents

Fri, 11 Sep 2009 11:56:53 EST

SAN JOSE TAIKO DRUMMERS "A superb, blood-racing exhibition." San Francisco Chronicle MESMERIZING! SPELLBINDING! TRAHC presents the world-class San Jose TAIKO DRUMMERS on Tuesday, Sept. 22 at 7:30pm in the Historic Perot Theatre, opening the 29th Annual Perot Theatre Series. At 6:00pm, ticket-holders can enjoy the annual free Women for the Arts opening night street party with light refreshments and a special "Drum-Off" featuring several drum corps and judged by TAIKO drummers. Preceding the show at 7:30pm, TRAHC presents the annual Hero Awards honoring individuals and businesses who have provided outstanding support for the arts and TRAHC this past year. Winners include: Lucille Cook; Women for the Arts; Texarkana Community Ballet with special honors to TCB founders; Georgia Hubnik; TRAHC’s African-American Advisory Committee; Debbie Roberts; Wanda Ingram; and Mary Jane Orr. For more than 30 years, San Jose TAIKO has performed in venues all over the world, mesmerizing audiences with the powerful, spellbinding and propulsive sounds inspired by traditional Japanese drumming. The word taiko is actually Japanese for drum, and the art form has been a staple of Japanese culture for centuries. San Jose TAIKO play in choreographed movements that are martial arts inspired, physical, expressive and calculated. Their sticks don’t just hit the drums but “journey from one beat to the next in large, artistic strokes.” Each original work even has a mood of its own. With costumes, lighting and drums ranging from tiny to gigantic, it’s quite a show!! (And, by the way, to add to the precision, each member studies traditional and contemporary dance with Japanese and American choreographers.)For those who remember KODO (1989), this group has shared their stage many times. If you didn’t see KODO, you’re in for a real treat with TAIKO. There are several American taiko groups, but San Jose TAIKO DRUMMERS were one of the first US-based troupes invited to tour Japan. Come see why! Tickets are $45, $40, $35, $30* and $8 with group and half-price* student discounts available. Visit the Perot Theatre Box Office at 3rd and Main Streets from 10am-5pm Monday-Friday or call 903.792.4992. Buy online anytime at www.trahc.org.
