[NEohioPAL] Cinderella September 29th!

[Denise Gula]

OHIO DANCE THEATRE PRESENTS CINDERELLA

Ohio Dance Theatre opens its' 2013 season with

the classic fairy tale, Cinderella.

 

Full of enchanting moments, vibrant dancing and visual appeal this
beautiful, romantic and sometimes comical adaptation will sweep audiences
off their feet when it returns to Stocker Arts Center, September 29, 2:00pm.
Stocker Arts Center is located on the campus of Lorain County Community
College, 1005, N. Abbe Rd., Elyria, OH.

 

Adapted from the Brothers Grimm fairy tale and performed to Sergei
Prokofiev's beautiful score, the ballet tells the story of a young girl who
is treated cruelly by her stepmother and ugly stepsisters.  With the help of
her fairy godmother, she is magically transformed and attends the royal ball
where she attracts the attention of the handsome prince.      

 

The company last performed Cinderella in 2003 but audiences will be treated
to a freshly updated version according to Ms. Gula. "Often with full length
ballets it's good to have some distance." stated Gula. "After all, the
choreographer is just another kind of storyteller whose audience is treated
to the vision the choreographer sees. There's certainly an intimate
relationship between yourself and the dances you put on the stage", reflects
Gula. "Like any relationship, it's always evolving, changing and hopefully
growing," continued Gula. "A lot of the choreography has been reconstructed.
There is more dancing and I think there is a better balance between
characters."

on line at www.stockerartscenter. Or by calling the Box Office at
440-366-4040 or 800-995-5222.  Tickets $20-$30.  This performance is made

Family Foundation and the Community of Foundation of Lorain County.
