Ballet Tucson Presents Footprints at the Fox

For the 4th year, Ballet Tucson presents Footprints at the Fox, featuring new works created by ten young choreographers in an exciting, one performance only event at the historic Fox Tucson Theatre. 

Founding Artistic Director Mary Beth Cabana has established “ChoreoLab”, a choreography laboratory for emerging choreographers. This program fosters the development of new, young voices in dance choreography. It also exposes participants to skills needed for future careers as Artistic Directors, Ballet Masters, Lighting Designers, Sound Designers, and Costume Designers. Ballet Tucson’s eight apprentices lead the cast in ten pieces with company members added to support the performance. 

The overall concept is not only to foster and develop the next generation of choreographers, but also to offer an opportunity for audiences to be exposed to new, youthful voices in dance. In particular, an outreach component has been created by Ballet Tucson and Fox Tucson Theatre Foundation to distribute tickets to children and families who might otherwise not be able to attend this performance and experience the beauty and importance of art in everyone’s lives. 

Experience contemporary dance, classical ballet,and everything in between. The audience will be treated to an array of unique creations and will vote for their favorite piece at the conclusion of the performance. Cash awards will be presented to the top 3 choreographers and announced on Ballet Tucson’s Facebook page. 

Footprints at the Fox has become an extremely popular show for Ballet Tucson patrons. The interactive element of voting adds a fun and unique dimension to this event.

• • • Brik MiddleKauff – Guest Company Teacher
