New York, NY – Ballet Hispánico, the nation’s preeminent Latino dance institution, will be featured in encore screenings of Lincoln Center at the Movies: Great American Dance, along with two of the other companies from the series’ inaugural season this past fall, Alvin Ailey American Dance Theater, and San Francisco Ballet. Coming to more than 115 theaters nationwide on Tuesday, August 2 at 7:00 pm (local time) is Ballet Hispánico, led by Artistic Director Eduardo Vilaro, with two audience favorites: CARMEN.maquia, an electrifying contemporary take on Bizet’s passionate opera choreographed by Spaniard Gustavo Ramírez Sansano, and Club Havana, a virtuosic re-imagining of a sizzling nightclub by Cuban-born choreographer Pedro Ruiz. The film will include special behind-the-scenes interviews with the dancers and a glimpse of the company’s rehearsals.
Tickets for Great American Dance can be purchased online by visiting www.FathomEvents.com, or at participating theater box offices. For a complete list of theater locations, visit the Fathom Events website (theaters and participating box offices are subject to change).
To enhance the Lincoln Center at the Movies experience for audiences of all ages, Lincoln Center Education has created interactive guides to accompany each Great American Dance screening. The guides are tailored for various audiences for use by: teachers, families with children, after-school programs, and lifelong learners. The guides use videos, readings, images, and participatory activities to provide information about each company and work, including historical context, music, choreography, and design, to encourage discussion prior to and after seeing the performance. To access the study guide for each of the summer encore presentations, visit LincolnCenterAtTheMovies.org/education.
“It is an honor to be a part of Lincoln Center at the Movies: Great American Dance in such esteemed company,” said Eduardo Vilaro, Artistic Director of Ballet Hispánico. “We’re thrilled to bring audiences two works that showcase the breadth and beauty of the Latino voice in today’s American cultural landscape.”
