Photo by Winegeart Photography, A dancer wearing a black tutu and ballet bun faces away from the camera, holding a small child in a diaper on her hip. She is kissing the baby on the cheek as the baby smiles happily at the camera. The dancers other arm bends in towards her left ear, hand resting lightly on her shoulder.
“The Family Ballet” is barely a ballet but is fully a family affair. Children and adults of all ages are welcome to join for a family excursion like never before. The audience will see hard-hitting and relevant issues expressed through dance such as, “Toddlers getting dressed” in which we encounter the dreaded: Shoes With Laces and Jackets With Buttons as well as “Mealtime with babies” where the floor becomes an abstract canvas. Remember a father’s finest moves in a celebration of Dad’s disco moves and honor mom in an unfinished piece about Mother’s unfinished conversations…Lastly, enjoy the magic of a wee fairytale, expressed through dance as has been done for centuries. This performance invites in the chaos of families and helps them feel seen, heard, and joyful.
