BalletMet Columbus Hosts Monthly Free Open Rehearsals
COLUMBUS, OHâ€â€Due to popular demand, BalletMet invites the public to free open rehearsals each month during its 2010-2011 season at the BalletMet Performance Space, 322 Mount Vernon Avenue. Each rehearsal will be held on a Friday from 5 to 6 p.m. These open rehearsals provide a glimpse into the creative process and a sneak peek of an upcoming production. After the rehearsal, guests can participate in a question and answer session with the artists. No reservations required.
The open rehearsal series kicks off Friday, August 20, with guest choreographer Darrell Grand Moultrie as he creates his work for the world premiere production of 7 Deadly Sins, opening April 29. Harlem native Moultrie is a Juilliard graduate and recipient of a Princess Grace Choreography Fellowship. He recently performed in Broadway’s Billy Elliot and choreographed Simply Sammy for BalletMet in last season’s American Legends: Johnny, Sammy and Stevie.
