An evening of Neoclassical and Contemporary Dance 

Artistic Director: Stephen Wynne

RADIANT, an evening of neoclassical and contemporary ballet by NWABT’s new artistic director with music from A.L. Webber, W.A. Mozart, and more, promises an athletic, elegant, and moving experience.

JOIN US, as NWA Ballet Theatre presents, Radiant: 5 brand-new works created by new artistic director, Stephen Wynne. The evening opens with A Table 4 4, a contemporary work depicting 4 strangers who unexpectedly find themselves at the same location and situation. These 4 arrived expectant, but realized they were jilted. Next, Unglued, a neoclassical choreography performed to a collection of heart-melting compositions by Andrew Lloyd Webber!
After a 15-minute intermission, the company gathers once again to perform Of a Feather, a narrative with music from W.A. Mozart, which unpacks the choices we sometimes make as we seek connection. Perhaps we are all guilty of first flocking to those who speak our language. This piece offers a mixture of classical and contemporary costuming. Next, A la Playa, a neoclassical choreography set at a beach, a soloist wakes up to find her friends have abandoned her, and there’s only an umbrella left to jog her memory. Lastly, Emerge, a dramatic contemporary concept-piece depicting the anatomy of a rise and fall.

SoNA Beyond: Transcending Words will feature the SoNA Singers in celebration of Poetry Month at the Fayetteville Public Library. SoNA Singers, a chorus of 60 beautiful voices, will sing powerful poems, and spoken word artists will share poems inspired by the music and poetry of the event. Through this program we celebrate the transcendent ability of the written word, as well as the ability of music to transcend words by providing color, context, and emotion. This event is free and open to the public.
