Save the Date: Year-End Performance

Symphony in C-19 | Friday, May 28

Students are working on our year-end performance called Symphony in C-19. Students are learning and rehearsing choreography for this piece during their class time. The last day of the semester is May 15, but we plan to film classes May 17 and 18 in the Black Box Theater. Colorado Ballet’s videographer, Taylor Keating, will film each class separately and will edit the segments together to create a performance video. Out of town students and those who would like to remain virtual have the option to submit a video of themselves in their home space.

The performance video release date is scheduled for Friday, May 28. We hope that everyone can keep their calendars clear for this exciting opportunity!

3RD LAW Dance/Theater

Upcoming Outdoor Peformances | May 19-23

Jenn Aiken, CBA’s Wardrobe Manager/Costume designer will be performing with 3RD LAW May 19-23. 

3RD LAW departs from the traditional indoor performance to take on the tri-level parking garage adjacent to the Century Theaters at Boulder’s 29th St. Mall – 1700 29th St. A site-specific program will transform the garage into a theatrical world and lead the audience on a journey from the ground level to the rooftop.

All performances start at 8pm with arrival beginning at 7:30pm. Please bring your own (off the ground) lawn/camp chair that is easy to move. Limited seating.

We invite you to go see Ms. Jenn on stage and support the arts!
