The Houston Ballet will celebrate the grand opening Saturday of its new Center for Dance, a $46 million project with multiple rehearsal studios, administrative offices, a wardrobe workshop and even a special room for shoes. It also includes a dance laboratory with stadium seating for developing and performing new work. The troupe has been busy on other fronts as well. It has won the Rudolf Nureyev Prize for New Dance, a $25,000 grant intended to encourage large companies to make new works. The company is using the money to commission a piece by Jorma Elo that will have its premiere in October at the Joyce Theater in New York. The prize is awarded by the Joyce Theater Foundation from an endowment created in part by the Rudolf Nureyev Foundation.
This break through with the new Center for Dance for the Houston Ballet is extravagantly exciting. With all the new dance coming about who doesn't want to go see this seasons finest performances. Visit http://www.houstonballet.org/ to purchase your tickets. You won't want to miss out!
