Lufkin, TX- Angelina Arts Alliance presents the modern dance company, Rioult Dance/New York 7:30pm on Saturday, September 17th. Artistic Director and Choreographer, Pascal Rioult began performing with the companies of May O'Donnell and Paul Sanasardo before joining the Martha Graham Dance Company in 1986. As a principal dancer, he interpreted many of the most prestigious roles in the Graham repertory. The French-born modern dance choreographer is known for his unique interpretations of well-known classical compositions. New modern-dance pieces are set boldly against classic music masterworks such as Stravinsky’s “Firebird” and Ravel’s “Bolero”. Stunningly performed by Rioult’s remarkable ensemble, the effect is riveting and uncompromising.
As an added bonus to those in attendance, Pascal will give a pre-show talk in the lobby at 6:30pm. The dancers will join him for an audience talk-back immediately following the show.
The Temple Theater Box Office located on the Angelina College Campus. Box office hours are 11:00-5:00 M-F. Tickets may be purchased in person or by calling 936.633.5454. For addition information, visit our website at angelinaarts.org.
