Ballet Theatre Ashtabula will be presenting a fresh and innovative mix of
ballet and contemporary dance when 

The Edges Between... plays on the Ashtabula Arts Center stage, May 9 - 11
and 16 - 18.  Friday and Saturday shows begin at 7:30 p.m. Sunday matinees
begin at 2 p.m. 

  

This original production features new works by local dancers/instructors
Clover Robinson, Meghann Stell, and Ballet Theatre Ashtabula Director of
Dance, Shelagh Dubsky.  Each piece reflects the passion and vitality of
dancers and spans from the abstract to the traditional.  

 

Clover Robinson has set her delightful new work, "Sail" to music by
Awolnation.  This piece explores the energies that exist in the mind and the
universe and the edges between them. Robinson's work explores the unusual,
with a resounding beat and unique stylized movement that pushes dancers to
reach new depths.

    

Meghann Stell's newest work "Feel Again" is set to music by One Republic. It
examines the joy of finding the people in your life that spiritually lift
you at every turn.  Another of her works, "Woven Apart in Unison," is set to
music by Kai King and symbolizes a group of separate individuals who,
through time and circumstances, become whole.

 

Other works on the program include duets and full ensemble pieces.
"Diamonds," is a neoclassical ballet set to the exquisite mathematical
harmony of Karl Jenkin's famous music that was adapted and used for DeBeer's
diamond advertisement campaign.  

 

One of the more unusual duets, "Emotional Equilibrium," choreographed by
Shelagh Dubsky, features interesting lifts, balances, and counter-balances
that challenge the way audiences think about dance.  

    

For sheer fun, "Mango Tango" showcases the company with a cool Latin groove.
Inspired by the passion of tango and the flirtatious sound of the mandolin,
a full cast brings you a taste of exotic fun.  

    

Other works on the program include a romantic "Cinderella" pas de deux, a
joyful romp to the uplifting music of Vivaldi, and other contemporary pieces
representing the grace and beauty of dance.
