Featured Choreographers:
Alan Hineline
Twist, by Alan Hineline, was created for the Alabama Ballet in 2003. Twist is a collaboration between Hineline, composer Jerome Begin and fashion designer Sebastian St. John. Hineline describes the piece as "an abstract work that uses repetitive structure as a through line for each of the four energetic movements." A sought after choreographer and ballet master, Hineline is the CEO and a resident choreographer with the Central Pennsylvania Youth Ballet.
Darrell Grand Moultrie
Modes Of Expression, is a new piece created by Darrell Grand Moultrie for Point Park, set to music by Chiel Meijering and Mikael Karlsson. "It is a pure dance work that sends the dancers cutting through space while exploring different emotions and feelings one encounters while embarking on the journey to becoming a better artist." Moultrie, who is fast emerging as one of America's most sought after choreographers and master teachers, has performed on Broadway and is one of the youngest African American choreographers working in both the ballet and modern dance genres.
Alan Obuzor
The Other Side of Now, a premiere work by Alan Obuzor, is a high energy, vibrant contemporary ballet piece set to music by Toto Bona Lokua, Yo-Yo Ma, Silk Road Ensemble, Ayub Ogada and Teresa Bright. Each of the five sections is completely unique, but made to fit together as a complete work. Obuzor is a Pittsburgh native who danced with Pittsburgh Ballet Theatre. He teaches at several schools throughout the city and is the founder and artistic director of Texture Contemporary Ballet.
