Spring Rep 2008 is scheduled for May 31, 2008 at the Lesher Center for the Arts.
Charles Perrault's enchanting fairy tale springs to life in this hour-long ballet set to the exhilarating Tchaikovsky score. Choreography by Katarina Wester after Marius Petipa highlights the talents of the company along with featured guest artists Jenna Maule as Princess Aurora, and David Fonnegra as Prince Florimund.
On the same program, Contra Costa Ballet is pleased to present Catching the Light, a dynamic contemporary piece created by San Francisco Ballet Soloist James Sofranko to the pulsating score by Karl Jenkins. This is the second piece Mr. Sofranko has choreographed for Contra Costa Ballet.
The Contra Costa Ballet Company is a pre-professional company of unusual stature. Only a few youth groups of this quality exist in America today. The Contra Costa Ballet Centre is the home of the Contra Costa Ballet Company. Company members are from the Centre's most advanced level.
(Contra Costa Ballet is) a talented group of young people already working like professionals.
