Easter Week 5

This show promises a beautiful display of ballet from local dance academy, The Russian Ballet School. Classical dance is set to both traditional and modern music, making for an innovative and interesting performance.

The first act will be a classical ballet, with original story and choreography by Karen Stringer. The Prince Wants a Wife is a fairy tale of love and longing; unable to find a suitable wife at court or in the local village, a prince searches among the local fairy band. He is distraught to find that even among these magical creatures most have fallen into decadent and lazy ways - until he finds one beautiful nymph, both good and beautiful. At the wedding of the happy couple the bride's bouquet comes to life and dances for the happy couple.

The second act, entitled The Modern Age, is danced to music from the 20th and 21st centuries. From Scott Joplin to Jamiroquai and the Spice Girls, this will be a joyous celebration of the versatility of this classical art form.
