Bangkok--Sep 27--Bangkok City Ballet
A gala festival of dance with famous artists from Thailand, France, Singapore, Chile and the Philippines will highlight this year’s PERFORMANCE ART FESTIVAL 2004 by Bangkok City Ballet.
After the great show, The Natcraker, which was very successful last year, Bangkok City Ballet continues to promote performing art in Thailand by organizing The Performance Art Festival 2004 which will be held on Friday, October 1, 2004 at 19.00 and Saturday, October 2 at 16.00 at Bangkok Play House.
Ms. Masako Hirata, Bangkok City Ballet’s Director, said that “We try to organize the show every year because we know that performing events are where artists appear and show their dancing talent. Without the events, “dancing” cannot remain in the society as a form of art. Bangkok City Ballet will work on increasing opportunities such as performance and concert skills for gifted Thai dancers and artists to demonstrate and improve their skills.”
There will be 11 shows in this event. They are called TRANSPARENT GROUND, TANGO BALLET, SAILOR DANCE, SANCTUARY, HAPPINESS OF ANATOMY, GRAND PAS DE DEUX FROM TCHAIKOVSKY, MIKAGURA, BEAR..LY HAIR..LY, BLISS, REVERSE and OH!SH-T. Described as ‘cross cultural dance communication’, the production will feature Contemporary, Neo Classic, Modern ballet, as well as Japanese Traditional Dance.
This year Bangkok City Ballet has invited very special guest dancers to highlight the program; Ricky Sim from Singapore, Olivier Vinkler from France and Maria Francisca Sazie from Chile. The Thai component will also present student dancers from Thammasart University, Faculty of Fine and Applied Arts and Bangkok City Ballet. A memorable performance not to be missed!
According to Bangkok City Ballet Director, Ms. Masako HIRATA, this year’s ART FESTIVAL promises to showcase the finest choreography and dance mastery from Asia and Europe.
