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. \nThe 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.
