Texas Dance Theatre. Choreography, Wil McKnight. Music, Steve Reich. Projections, Daniel Corona. Inspired by art created by Daniel Corona. A veteran of the Afghanistan conflict, Corona returned to the United States to discover his artistic self as a means of important self-expression in order to communicate. Through the process of creating over 50 paintings, Corona realized, I can feel it. I can see it. I recreate what I see and I let it go. It becomes controlled chaos. He added, I think the emotions I capture are known to be profound by others but are too elusive for them to hold. Rather than a glimpse, I am blinded by these emotions all day.

Houston Ballet artistic director Stanton Welch discusses Houston Ballet’s production of Jewels, running Sept. 23-Oct. 3, 2010. A ballet in three parts, George Balanchine’s Jewels was premiered by New York City Ballet in 1967 and was hailed as the first plotless full-length ballet. The gems in Jewels pay tribute to three golden ages of dance and also to the beauty of the ballerinas Balanchine adored. Poetic and flowing, Emeralds evokes France, the birthplace of Romantic dance. Its ballerinas drift on stage in clouds of tulle, whispering of elegance, fashion and fragrance. Rubies mirrors the carefree spontaneity of America, a throwback to the musical comedies and films Balanchine created soon after he arrived in his beloved adopted country: a sassy, jazzy burst of sunshine. Diamonds dazzles as Balanchine’s tribute to the work of Marius Petipa and evokes the grandeur and precision of the Imperial Ballet of St. Petersburg with each shimmering wave of classical elegance. More information about this production can be found at www.houstonballet.org.
