Jacob's Pillow Dance

August 11, 2011 - (Becket, MA) One of America's leading contemporary ballet companies and a Jacob's Pillow audience favorite, Aspen Santa Fe Ballet (ASFB) returns to perform a sophisticated program with live music August 17-21. The nationally acclaimed company, dually based in Aspen, CO, and Santa Fe, NM, commissions and performs work from international choreographers, and has become a leader in developing dance repertory. Dance Magazine hails Aspen Santa Fe Ballet as "a company to be reckoned with," and Jennifer Dunning with The New York Times states, "They raise the bar, and then they jump over it." Three works will be presented at the Pillow, including Uneven, danced to live onstage cello music, Jiří Kylián's energetic Stamping Ground, and Red Sweet, which The Chicago Tribune's Sid Smith calls "a real stunner" that is "deliciously tweaking classic form with infinite jest throughout."
