SUMMARY:DanceAspen: CRESCENDO
DESCRIPTION:Experience an electrifying evening of dance that builds in rhythm\, energy\, and emotion. \nCRESCENDO brings together DanceAspen’s acclaimed artists for a dynamic program featuring bold contemporary works\, live music\, and a world premiere inspired by the music and spirit of John Denver. \nAt the heart of the evening is the North American premiere of Samantha Lynch’s powerful interpretation of Ravel’s iconic Boléro—a mesmerizing duet that steadily intensifies to a thrilling finale. The program also features Alejandro Cerrudo’s cheeky tribute to the smooth sounds of Dean Martin\, audience favorite Cayetano Soto’s captivating choreography\, and the world premiere excerpt of Take Me Home\, a Wheeler Opera House commission choreographed by Penny Saunders\, Jonah Delgado\, and Matthew Gilmore and performed with a live band. \nFrom sweeping music to breathtaking athleticism\, CRESCENDO celebrates the artistry\, passion\, and innovation that define DanceAspen. The performance order for the evening includes: \n“A Boléro” (North American Premiere): Choreographed and set-designed by Samantha Lynch\, a principal dancer with the Norwegian National Ballet. Set to Maurice Ravel’s iconic 1928 score\, this high-energy duet builds intensity toward an explosive climax\, all within a striking\, nearly 10-foot-tall box structure. The dancers move within it\, climb its frame\, and dance across its elevated surface\, heightening the duet’s intimacy\, tension\, and physical daring. This is the first performance outside of Oslo\, Norway. \n“PACOPEPEPLUTO” A DanceAspen Premiere\, Choreographed by Charlotte Ballet Director Alejandro Cerrudo. This witty\, visually minimalist piece features three male solos set to classic 1950s and 1960s tracks by Dean Martin\, staging sharp athletic movement against smooth vocal standards. \n“SAVOURY BITES”: A World-Premiere compilation by audience-favorite choreographer Cayetano Soto. A newly conceived collection of excerpts from his acclaimed works Malasangre\, Fugaz\, and Beginning After\, SAVOURY BITES brings together distinct flavors from the choreographer’s bold and theatrical repertoire. Reimagined for DanceAspen\, the work showcases Soto’s signature physicality\, musicality\, and striking movement of language in one dynamic new presentation. \n“Take Me Home” is a World Premiere Excerpt / sneak preview of an original work commissioned by the Wheeler Opera House. Co-choreographed by Penny Saunders alongside DanceAspen’s in-house choreographers Jonah Delgado and Matthew Gilmore\, the piece is set to John Denver’s music and will be performed with a live\, onstage band led by local Colorado musician Mack Bailey. \nThis performance includes revealing costuming. Parental discretion is advised.

SUMMARY:DanceAspen: Take Me Home
DESCRIPTION:Take Me Home\, a world-premiere production from DanceAspen\, brings John Denver’s music together with contemporary dance in a new evening-length work by DanceAspen. Seven dancers perform within a visual world shaped by Americana-inspired costumes and cinematic projections\, accompanied by either a live band or recorded music. \nSet to songs including “Take Me Home\, Country Roads\,” “Rocky Mountain High\,” “Annie’s Song\,” “Sunshine on My Shoulders\,” and “Leaving on a Jet Plane\,” the work follows four interwoven stories of love\, separation\, conflict\, and belonging. Denver’s familiar music gives audiences an immediate connection to the piece\, while the choreography offers a new way to experience it. \nBalancing familiarity with discovery\, the work welcomes dance audiences\, John Denver listeners\, families\, and first-time contemporary dancegoers into a story they already feel connected to. \nTake Me Home brings together an acclaimed creative team led by choreographers Jamar Roberts\, Pam Tanowitz\, Penny Saunders\, Noelle Kayser\, Jonah Delgado\, and Matthew Gilmore. Music direction is by Mack Bailey\, the Aspen musician who performed with John Denver. The production’s visual world is further shaped by John Horzen’s projection and video design\, costume design by Reid & Harriet\, and lighting design by Anna Pillot\, creating a richly layered theatrical experience that complements DanceAspen’s contemporary interpretation of Denver’s iconic music. \nTake Me Home is a DanceAspen production commissioned by the City of Aspen’s Wheeler Opera House\, Mike Harrington (Executive Director). Creative Producer: Allison Walsh.
