Miami City Ballet: Claudia Schreier and Durante Verzola
Sunday and Monday, November 21 and 22, 7:30pm
Preview new work created for Miami City Ballet, prior to its world premiere in Florida in spring 2022. For their new commission, choreographer Claudia Schreier and filmmaker Adam Barish blend ballet with technology to explore a landscape of shifting perspectives. Also presented is a pas de deux by choreographer Durante Verzola that examines and challenges the traditional gendered structure of partner dances, and takes inspiration from the process of creating work virtually during the pandemic. Verzola is the 2021 Artistic Partnership Initiative Fellow at the New York University Center for Ballet and the Arts, a position for which he was nominated by Miami City Ballet. Linda Murray, Curator, Jerome Robbins Dance Division at The New York Public Library for the Performing Arts, will moderate a discussion with Barish, Schreier, and Verzola and company dancers will perform highlights of their new work. Leadership support for this Works & Process program provided by Charles and Deborah Adelman, and Jeffrey Davis and Michael T. Miller.
