outdoor ballet

Sunday, August 17th | 5 PM Doors | 5:30 PM Ballet | Snowpine Lodge Grand Lawn | $10 | Tickets Required

Deseret Experimental Opera and Salt Lake Ballet Cooperative presents a mixed bill, comprised of favorites from past shows, as well as new works! Enjoy excerpts from "Ruin" with Columbia Jones, in which SLBC partnered with Jones to create original dance pieces for his music. Jones’s songs are earnest reflections of the everyday American experience, and we are delighted to see another layer of life experience and interpretation with dance.

Excerpts from "Confluence to Salt Dust", first performed in 2023, will also be presented. This traveling show explored the water cycle that is unique to the Salt Lake valley and was inspired by the personification of bodies of water. Through the choreography and musical creations of local artists, dancers portray the crystalline movement of the water in the Great Salt Lake all the way from the babbling improvisational creeks as the snow melts from the Mountains.

Finally, enjoy a handful of new works as they make their Atla debut!

Salt Lake Ballet Cooperative is a professional-level movement cooperative that is donation-run. SLBC was formed in late 2021 from a need for affordable classes and a desire to create original works for the local community. SLBC puts on several original ballet performances each year and provides open classes to the public. Current class options include Ballet, Gyrokinesis, Pilates, and Yoga.

ACE aims to create an inclusive and accessible environment for all of our attendees; please contact our Executive Director, Sara Gibbs, with any questions regarding accessibility
