Contemporary Ballet

       Is it possible to talk about a complete different style called Contemporary Ballet? Is it possible to locate choreographers and dance pieces under this name?  Certainly, there are many choreographers who have created exquisite vanguardist and contemporary works using dancers with a strong ballet technique. Are the concepts or complex movements inside these choreographies what make them contemporary? Is the use of a strong ballet technique, which later is transformed, that makes them ballet?  Many thoughts are coming...

Collaborative Projects in the Performing Arts

          Collaborating interdisciplinary is the key to produce interesting and innovating artistic products. Music, Dance, Design, Technology and others could be together in the same stage. Moreover, remote locations could be connected through internet. In this way, the boundaries between artists around the world are broken. Currently, it is possible to produce artistically without the limitations of space and time. Artists think differently now thanks to technology. This is a performance presented as the final project of the class Collaborative Projects in the Performing Arts, at NYU Steinhardt Music Technology program.
