Ballet Meets Art at the Mead Fall 2010
Moments of Grace
December 2, 7:30pm
December 4, 3:00pm
On Thursday, Dec. 2, at 7:30 p.m. and Saturday, Dec. 4, at 3 p.m., the Mead Art Museum will again serve as the venue for an experience synthesizing the arts. Distinguished students of East Street Dance Center in Hadley will present dances from the Renaissance and Baroque eras and extracts from classical ballets.
The students’ performances will reflect the historic scope of the Mead’s collections and interact with the art on view in the museum’s reinstalled galleries. Musical interludes between the dances will complement the program. In this way, dance, music and fine arts will merge beautifully into a unified artistic experience. Bettina Jungen, Thomas P. Whitney ’37 Curator of Russian Art will highlight the relationship between dance and art in her introduction.
Space for this production is limited. Reservations are recommended.
