Alessandra Corona presents her Performing Works in two evenings, two different programs of dance/theater works. Corona, a native of Cagliari, Sardinia, was trained at the National Ballet Academy in Rome. Upon moving to New York, she quickly rose to the rank of principal dancer with Ballet Hispanico, touring with the company for 12 years, during which time she originated many roles.
Program:
Part I - "Dance Shorts" features 10 minutes of work from three different choreographers:
Maiya Redding ("Breaking Through, the Generational Curse") presents a family evolving through a long journey together, in which they express jealousy, loneliness, regret, forgiveness, support and love.
Isaies Santamaria Perez ("Shina") a fascinating collage of music by Qiyans Krets, Gustavo Santaolalla, Les Tambours du Bronx, Yan Tiersen, Klaus Schulze and Andreas Grosser.
Alessandra Corona & Dancers ("Labyrinth") depicting two lovers struggling to escape the labyrinth of fate.
Part II - "W2! (Women Too!)" choreographed by Manuel Vignoulle "...delves into the evolution of the male/female dynamic in history from a contemporary man's point of view, and the corresponding changes in gender roles.....There are segments throughout the work that are as sensual, fluid, and beautiful as anything Vignoulle has done to date." - William Cubberley
