The Ballet Process

Dance Alive proudly presents a new program, The Ballet Process. Often asked, “How do you create a new work”, one of DANB’s gifted young choreographers, Tales Ribeiro, offered to answer the question. Ribeiro invites you to join him and the dancers on the journey as he creates a new work – WHAT REMAINS: A STORY OF ALZHEIMER’S.

With WHAT REMAINS: A STORY OF ALZHEIMER’S, what we love becomes eternal in our memory. But what happens when our memory is gone? Then who we used to be is also gone. But – not in all cases. This is one story in which a fragment of memory, a moment of love, a treasure in time, is still there.

If you are interested in how Mr. Ribeiro creates his work, you can join him and the dancers at any or all of three different occasions. Each experience includes a talk-back and refreshments.

Ribeiro, recently promoted to Principal Dancer and Company Choreographer for Dance Alive National Ballet, is a recent member of International Dance Council CID, the official world-wide organization of all forms of dance. Among other benefits, he is able to offer International Certification to his students and nominate other persons for CID membership.
