BalletX opens its third season as the resident dance company of The Wilma Theater with Fall Series 2009, an intriguing presentation of three dance premieres by three choreographers: Alex Ketley, an award-winning independent dance maker, presents Silt, an exciting dance of extreme physicality exploring how personal ideas about oneself can get lost in the sweep of life. SILT is set to a collage by TarJMB of the music by Chris Clark, Giovanni Pergolesi and Arvo Pärt. Meredith Rainey, a former soloist with Pennsylvania Ballet, returns to BalletX after dancing with the company for two past seasons. His new work is inspired by a Chris Armstrong painting called “Summerhead “ and is set to a contemporary cello piece “World to Come” by David Lang. Title TBA. Matthew Neenan, co-founder and artistic director of BalletX, features his new ballet that brings out individuality of dancers, focusing on solo and duet dancing, set to a contemporary soundtrack. Please stay a little longer after a show to meet the choreographers at one of the Post-Show Q&A Sessions offered at the opening night performance on November 19 (with Alex Keltey and Meredith Rainey) and following the Saturday matinee, November 21 (with Alex Ketley and Matthew Neenan).
