About the Performance:

RIOULT builds on tradition, expanding the definition of contemporary dance. Known for his daring and imaginative explorations of classical scores, French choreographer Pascal Rioult creates new works that bring fresh perspective to timeless themes, flawlessly blending his European sensibilities with a strong background in American modern dance. Their SummerFest program will feature choreography to Ravel’s La Valse and Boléro, alongside a Jacques Loussier jazz arrangement of Mozart.
