Awards
Ceremony at the New Hazlett Theater
- Ave
Maria
Choreographed by the highly innovative Dwight Rhoden, Ave
Maria, a pas de deux taken from a longer work called
The Grapes of Wrath, is a duet showcase. Poking impudent
fun at the principle of pas de deux, Ave Maria is an innovative
piece full of body flutters, risky jumps, falls and lightening
fast movement phrases. The piece will
be performed by Maribel
Modrono and
Robert
Moore who dance locally with the
Pittsburgh Ballet Theatre.
