"Monster"
"Monster" is a study of our use of humor to mask melancholy while we wrestle with our shortcomings. It is expressed through contemporary dance in a light and lively manner. This ballet was created in Choreolab 2016 and was chosen due to its strength and creativity to be included in our main stage performances of Ballet Tucson's Spring Concert series Dance & Dessert in March. The cast is comprised of a small ensemble of male and female dancers.

Choreographer: Sierra Sebastian
"Waves"
The inspiration of this small ensemble work comes from the idea that "to find light in dark times is to know your worth, that you are enough, and that you are not alone." It is based in the modern dance idiom.
Choreographer: Mauricio Vergara
"In My Fabulous Times..."
This eclectic jazz dance piece is a memorial to Guillermo Valdez, former Soloist and distinguished Ballet Master of the Campania Nacional de Danza (Mexico). It aspires to capture his sense of humor and energetic spirit and utilizes an all-female ensemble.
Choreographer: Anthony Schweighart
