The Alabama Ballet is a ballet company in Alabama, United States. HistoryPrior to the establishment of Alabama Ballet, there were three smaller ballet companies in the state of Alabama: the Birmingham Civic Ballet, the University of Alabama at Birmingham Ballet and Ballet Alabama.[1] In 1981, dancers Sonia Arova and Thor Sutowski decided to start a bona fide ballet company in the state and created Alabama Ballet.[1] Fifteen years later, in 1996, Wes Chapman and Roger Van Fleteren became co-directors of the company.[1] Nearly a decade later, in 2005, Tracey Alvey became Ballet Mistress and, two years later, Artistic Director.[1][2] After Chapman left, Van Fleteren became Associate Artistic Director and Resident Choreographer.[2] Moreover, Leslie Fillmer serves as a music composer for the company.[2] One of its annual performances is The Nutcracker as choreographed by George Balanchine (1904-1983).[2] Indeed, it is one of only six ballet companies in the world licensed to perform it.[2] The company has also performed choreographic renditions of Dracula and Dr Jekyll and Mr Hyde.[2] Since 1997, in conjunction with the Gorham Bluff's Institute, it has organized a summer residency in Gorham's Bluff, Alabama, overlooking the Tennessee River Valley.[3][4][5][6][7] Additionally, the company runs a school for children ages 3 to 18.[2] References1. ^1 2 3 Alabama Ballet: Our History {{Dance Companies in the United States}}{{Ballet companies}}2. ^1 2 3 4 5 6 Todd Keith, Insiders' Guide to Birmingham, Globe Pequot, 2011, pp. 92-93 [https://books.google.com/books?id=939PltH5klYC&pg=PA92&dq=%22Alabama+Ballet%22&hl=en&sa=X&ei=z43OU4TmJMbk8AWjj4CoAw&ved=0CBsQ6AEwAA#v=onepage&q=%22Alabama%20Ballet%22&f=false] 3. ^Michael Huebner, Alabama Ballet retreats to Gorham's Bluff, The Birmingham News, August 09, 2010 4. ^[https://books.google.com/books?id=9A4AAAAAMBAJ&pg=PA172&lpg=PA172&dq=Gorham%27s+Bluff+ballet&source=bl&ots=X-zlL23ZNo&sig=puibrunxHgq08jghXMKy92SbVwA&hl=en&sa=X&ei=ctzNU-CsBoj18QWypoCADA&ved=0CFsQ6AEwCQ#v=onepage&q=Gorham%27s%20Bluff%20ballet&f=false Great Southern Gateaways], Atlanta, July 2007, p. 172 5. ^Michael Huebner, Alabama Ballet offers elegant retreat from city atop Gorham's Bluff, The Birmingham News, August 10, 2010 6. ^[https://news.google.com/newspapers?nid=1891&dat=20000716&id=l8MfAAAAIBAJ&sjid=cdgEAAAAIBAJ&pg=1038,1571188 Alabama Ballet returns to Gorham's Bluff], The Gadsden Times, July 16, 2000 7. ^[https://news.google.com/newspapers?nid=1891&dat=20000716&id=l8MfAAAAIBAJ&sjid=cdgEAAAAIBAJ&pg=1038,1571188 Alabama Ballet plans annual summer residency at Gorham's Bluff], The Gadsden Times, July 03, 2003 4 : Dance in Alabama|Ballet companies in the United States|1981 establishments in Alabama|Arts organizations established in 1981 |
