The Sarasota Ballet’s Program Four

Four distinct works shape The Sarasota Ballet’s Program Four, contrasting classical lineage with contemporary premieres. The bill introduces two pieces by Ashley Page to the company: Walking in the Heat, scored by Orlando Gough, and The Pump Room, set to the unorthodox pairing of Aphex Twin and Nine Inch Nails. Rounding out the evening at the FSU Center for The Performing Arts are George Balanchine’s Donizetti Variations and Paul Taylor’s Mercuric Tidings, choreographed to Franz Schubert. The program highlights the dancers' technical breadth across mid-century modernism, classical pointe work, and late-twentieth-century industrial soundscapes.
