SUMMARY:Trail: Ballet Jörgen\, A Midsummer Night’s Dream
DESCRIPTION:The Trail & District Arts Council presents Canada’s preeminent classical touring ballet company Ballet Jörgen: A Midsummer Night’s Dream\, at The Bailey Theatre on Wednesday\, February 18 at 7:00 pm as part of the Performing Arts Trail series. \nBallet Jörgen presents William Shakespeare’s classic comedy with a Canadian twist. \nWilliam Shakespeare’s A Midsummer Night’s Dream is one of his most beloved comedies. As four Athenians mixed up in love and lost in a forest while trying to escape their families\, a group of fairies\, engaged in their own emotional misunderstandings\, manipulate the humans. \nThe ballet is a lighthearted\, humourous\, and fun tale of love and\, often misguided\, magic set in motion by the mischievous trickster Puck.\nBengt Jörgen will bring this story to life in his own original ballet version as a tribute to Canada’s North. Ballet Jörgen’s A Midsummer Night’s Dream will bring out the magic of Northern Canada’s woodland and tundra landscapes and creatures of the forest such as moose\, beavers\, bears\, and squirrels.\nIn addition to our professional dancers\, each performance will include up to 10 age-appropriate roles for local young aspiring dancers\, ages 9 to 17\, through Ballet Jörgen’s Local Participant Program. \nThe ballet adaptation is set to Mendelssohn’s 1827 concert overture and 1843 instrumental score which includes the famous “Wedding March.”\nThis family-friendly ballet will captivate audiences of all ages and will warm the hearts of young and old alike. \nThe show includes 15-18 dancers including parts for up to 10 local participants.\nChoreography: Bengt Jörgen\, C.M. Music: Felix Mendelssohn \nABOUT BALLET JÖRGEN\nFounded in 1987\, Ballet Jörgen is a national organization headquartered in Toronto that is focused on making the arts accessible for all Canadians\, with a special focus on underserved communities and demographics.
