Season 2020-2021
At a time when the doors of most performing arts institutions and theaters remain closed, Carole Alexis Company/Ballet des Amériques is determined to stalwartly soldier on, under the auspices of its staunch, tenacious leader, director, and choreographer, Carole Alexis. For, the visceral emotions and awe-inspiring athleticism of dance do not properly translate virtually. Like most performing arts institutions, Ballet des Amériques/Carole Alexis Company was thrown for a loop by the pandemic. Prior to its emergence, the company was basking in the glow of success from a sold-out international tour to Tropiques Atrium Scène Nationale in Fort-de-France, Martinique, and preparing for its NYC premiere at Symphony Space in Manhattan. Ultimately, Carole Alexis Company/Ballet des Amériques has stepped up in our present crisis: embarking on its newest mission: to execute an array of performances throughout the NY-metro area, and, ultimately, the nation and world. Through these widely-accessible displays, audience members—who may have never before seen a professional dance performance—will discover a new appreciation for dance and performing arts in general; buoying much-needed support for the performing arts; generating a new population of theater-goers, and aficionados. Limbs outstretched and zeal tangible, Carole Alexis Company/Ballet des Amériques’s dancers and Alexis’s poignant choreography relate to themes including peace, love, and diversity, and leave viewers feeling profoundly moved. Thus, with the cleaves/fractures that exist in our present society, performing works with uplifting, consciousness-awakening, and enlivening themes that can aid in establishing grant.
