Reflections on Nature

Misako Ballet Company presents Reflections on Nature in memory of Eva Anderson. The concert will feature The Grateful Crane, How We Play, Waterflow, and excerpts from the ballet Esmeralda.

The Grateful Crane, a one-act ballet based on a Japanese folktale, tells the story of a revered bird who, when rescued from a trap by an old childless couple, repays their kindness in a magical way. The poignant performance, choreographed by Artistic Director, Misako Aoki, should appeal to ballet fans both young and old.

The company will also perform HoWePlay, choreographed by Eva Anderson. We dedicate this concert to Ms. Anderson, the artistic director and choreographer of her own modern dance companies for 40 years. She was a friend and mentor to Ms. Aoki and a frequent guest choreographer at Misako Ballet Company. We honor her life and her work.

Waterflow is a beautiful exploration of fluid movement created by 3PerformersJapan, choreographed and danced by Japanese artist Fumihito Shimizu. Soprano Eriko Tokura Murray will lend her voice to this performance.

The concert will also include selections from the ballet Esmeralda.

Matcha Time Cafe will sell Japanese green tea, snacks, and cider before the performance from 12:30 to 1:30pm and during intermission.

This Concert should appeal to dance fans of all ages.
