American Contemporary Ballet Jazz Unites Big Band with an Experiential Evening

March 12, 2024 By Taylor Winters In American Contemporary Ballet, Review No Comments

It’s no surprise that American Contemporary Ballet is our favorite dance company we’ve experienced, as we’ve sung their praises in the past with The Nutcracker Suite, Burlesque and Inferno, Homecoming, and Astaire Dances. We describe them as not your mother’s ballet, and while I have brought my own Mom to ACB’s ballet before, this is [...]

ACB Trailblazes Modern Ballet with The Rite and Burlesque

October 13, 2023 By Taylor Winters In American Contemporary Ballet, Performance Theater, Review No Comments

Traditionally, ballets elicit connotations of properness, structure, and elegance. Yet, American Contemporary Ballet skirts these expectations by pushing the boundaries of dance, venue, and classical storytelling in the absolute best way possible.

The 28th floor. The elevator takes me straight up. No stops. And the doors open to a mundane office hallway. Nondescript doors on both sides, illuminated by the glow of fluorescent bulbs hidden behind ceiling panels. I walk down the hallway, until the find the door I was instructed to locate. Room 2580. I try [...]

August 24, 2022 By Alyssa Concha In American Contemporary Ballet, News, Performance Theater No Comments

American Contemporary Ballet opens its 11th season on October 7 with Inferno & Burlesque, a double dose of gothic horror and likely the strangest Halloween experience available in Los Angeles.
