COMPANY ALUMNI RETURN FOR 50TH ANNIVERSARY PERFORMANCE

Ririe-Woodbury Dance Company’s 50th Anniversary celebration continues with MOMENTUM, December 12-14 at 7:30pm, with a 3pm Saturday matinee, at the Rose Wagner Center in Salt Lake City. This exciting performance marks the return of 14 of Ririe-Woodbury’s most distinguished alumni dancers to a Company production.

Momentum was originally created by Ririe-Woodbury alumni dancers Jill Voorhees Edwards and Juan Carlos Claudio as a showcase for the work of former company dancers. This year, Ririe-Woodbury presents the outstanding choreographic talents of these alumni, all well-respected artists and educators throughout the country. Among the choreography are four commissioned works by John Allen, Jillian Harris, Stephanie Nugent, and Patrick Damon Rago.

The run is presented in two different programs, one Thursday and Saturday evening, and the other Friday evening and Saturday afternoon.

Choreographers Thursday and Saturday evening include Juan Carlos Claudio, Jill Voorhees Edwards, Jillian Harris, Keith Johnson, Stevan Novakovich, Stephanie Nugent, and Doris Trujillo.

Choreographers Friday evening and Saturday afternoon include John Allen, Chia-Chi Chian, Juan Carlos Claudio, Aaron Draper, Patrick Damon Rago, Emmy Thomson, Andy Vaca and Prentice Whitlow.

This thrilling and up-close experience takes place in the intimacy of the Black Box Theatre at the Rose Wagner Center. Tickets are just $35 for adults and $20 for students and seniors, and are available now at ArtTix.org or by calling 801-355-ARTS. 

In addition to the performance, Ririe-Woodbury will hold a series of Master Classes at the Rose Wagner, December 9, 10, 11 at 9:00 am, and December 14 at 10am for just $10 each, or $5 each with the purchase of a Momentum ticket.
