BdA Press Release: Dancing Caravane Project – La Caravane Dansante
Ballet des Amériques/Carole Alexis Company will perform LIVE next Saturday at 3pm at Gantry State Park in LI City, Queens! We’ll be performing an array of spectacular and moving works of a myriad of styles, choreographed by the inventive and ingenious Carole Alexis
Don’t miss out on this opportunity to witness a live performance safely.
At a time when the doors of most performing arts institutions and theaters remain closed, Ballet des Amériques/Carole Alexis Company is determined to stalwartly soldier on, under the auspices of its staunch, tenacious leader, director, and choreographer, Carole Alexis. For, the visceral emotions and awe-inspiring athleticism of dance do not properly translate virtually. Like most performing arts institutions, Ballet des Amériques/Carole Alexis Company was thrown for a loop by the pandemic. Prior to its emergence, the company was basking in the glow of success from a sold-out international tour to Tropiques Atrium Scène Nationale in Fort-de-France, Martinique, and preparing for its NYC premiere at Symphony Space in Manhattan. It has become the onus of dance institutions to adapt to our present international health crisis and find new, innovative ways to reach audiences.
Ultimately, Ballet des Amériques/Carole Alexis Company has stepped up to that challenge: embarking on its newest mission: to execute an array of performances throughout the NY-metro area, and, ultimately, the nation and world. With outdoor, “pop-up,” mobile shows (including a portable, sprung floor that is already in BdA’s possession), the company aspires to provide affordable, donation-based presentations, with an emphasis on proactive, assertive outreach to and within lower-income areas. Overall, the opportunity to experience live performance during this time is unique and valuable. In our current era—where over 200,000 homes have lost a loved one, and millions are unemployed; experiencing economic insecurity, as the country plunges into another recession—it is salient to provide an avenue for escapism; allowing audience members brief repose from the present chaos in the vein of USO Camp Shows during World War II. Through these widely-accessible displays, audience members—who may have never before seen a professional dance performance—will discover a new appreciation for dance and performing arts in general; buoying much-needed support for the performing arts; generating a new population of theater-goers, cognoscenti, and aficionados. Limbs outstretched and zeal tangible, Ballet des Amériques/Carole Alexis Company’s dancers and Alexis’s poignant choreography relate to themes including peace, love, and diversity, and leave viewers feeling profoundly moved. Thus, with the cleaves/fractures that exist in our present society, performing works with uplifting, consciousness-awakening, and enlivening themes can aid in establishing unity. Performances will be carried out safely, with a commitment to the disease prevention guidelines produces by the CDC. Likewise, enabling professional performers to retain employment when plausible is vital for preserving these artists’ ability to express themselves and engage in their passion while safeguarding their livelihoods.

Teacher Training Testimonials “Lori Belilove trains beautiful Duncan dancers—any dancer serious about teaching and performing Isadora Duncan’s works should consider this certification program. My training under Lori’s mentorship has led me to teaching in a range of contexts, including private studios, festival workshops, and university residencies. As a performance coach, Lori is detailed and exacting, facilitating dancers’ discovery of nuance in musicality and qualities of weight, and encouraging dancers to experience freedom within the sculptural form of Duncan’s dances.” — Meg Brooker, MFA, is Assistant Professor & Director of Dance at Middle Tennessee State University and Artistic Director of Duncan Dance South, a founding organizer of Isadora Duncan International Symposium, and a former company dancer with Lori Belilove & Company. She holds an Advanced Certification in Duncan Technique and Repertory, under the mentorship of Lori Belilove. “Prior to this experience I only knew about Isadora in the context of a dance history lesson, and the process of not only uncovering this rich history but seeing it and feeling it fully alive and breathing in today’s world has been immensely rewarding. Belilove is a masterful educator and brings incredible knowledge and sensitivity to her classes. Her approach to Duncan is inquisitive and inviting, and the total experience has reaffirmed for me that both movement and education flourish in a joyous, creative setting.” – Becky Allen, MFA, MA in Dance Education, is a company dancer with Lori Belilove & The Isadora Duncan Dance Company and works for The Isadora Duncan Dance Foundation, managing Educational Programming in addition to assisting and teaching Duncan dance classes. She is also a Teaching Artist with New York City Ballet and founder of LatticeWorks Dance Collective. |
