New Ballet will perform 6 new dances by emerging choreographers as part of its Fast Forward.
Members of San Jose’s New Ballet rehearse for the company’s sixth annual Fast Forward program, which comes to Hammer Theatre in San Jose March 18.For more than 30 years, from 1985 to 2016, San Jose was home to a top-notch nationally acclaimed ballet company. First known as the San Jose Cleveland Ballet, the new troupe was born when the 10-year-old Cleveland Ballet forged a new configuration with San Jose, giving its dancers more opportunities to perform.
Fortunately, a Phoenix rose from the ashes in the form of a very determined Dalia Rawson. She kept the San Jose Ballet School open, renamed it the New Ballet School, and started a chamber company of 14 dancers, New Ballet, where she is the director and resident choreographer. In December 2016 she presented her own version of “The Nutcracker” to critical acclaim.
Also contributing a work is Peter Merz, who’s new to the Bay Area after dancing with the Cincinnati, Dayton and Louisville ballet companies, and directing the Ballet West Academy. His latest creation is “QDD,” an acronym he coined from a quotation from Martha Graham. Former New Ballet company dancer Mesa Burdick, who’s now performing with the Sacramento Ballet, offers a new work which was first developed with dancers in that city. The song “Tzantza by folk/electronica artist Nicola Cruz “inspired the choreography so I instantly knew the direction and the tone I wanted to go in,” said Burdick. “ I originally thought the music was almost too intense, it had a really driving beat and it definitely has a jungle undertone theme.
