Bonjour, Butterfly - Evergreen City Ballet
: Bonjour, Butterfly SPRING 2012 Dear Friends, I am delighted to welcome you to our Third Annual Family Performance Series. We are thrilled to have Robin Preiss Glasser, illustrator of the Fancy Nancy book series and former professional ballerina at Meydenbauer Theatre. Robin will be in the lobby during intermission at all of the Bellevue shows to autograph books and take a picture with your little Fancy Nancies! Please save the date on Saturday, April 28th for our 4th Annual Dinner Gala and Auction at Emerald Downs. This year’s theme is 1920’s Speakeasy. Enjoy an evening with 20s-era entertainment, great food, wine and wonderful items to bid on. All proceeds benefit our Financial Aid and Dance ALIVE! outreach programs. Dance ALIVE! has served over 10,000 underprivileged children in our public schools, at no cost to them or their schools. Dance ALIVE! gives children, who would otherwise never have the opportunity, to learn about this art form. If you would like to help us continue to bring this program to the youth in our community, please visit our information table in the lobby. You may also “Adopt-a-School” of your choice for $500.00. Wondering what to do with your kids this summer? Our Summer Dance Camp is a great choice! With different themes each week, your child can dress up like Cinderella or Fancy Nancy and dance, craft and have fun. We provide a healthy snack, all activities and even early drop-off options! Evergreen City Ballet also offers top caliber, affordable, dance instruction for children and adults of all ages and skill level. Please take a moment and visit our website to learn more about how to join our School, Company and our upcoming Summer Camps. www.evergreencityballet.org. On behalf of all of us at Evergreen City Ballet, thank you for being here. We look forward to seeing you in the future. Enjoy the show! Sincerely, Kevin Kaiser Artistic / Executive Director ECB Season Sponsors: DANCING TO DISNEY Choreography: Wade Walthall Music: Various Artists Mr. Disney captured the lighthearted spirit which children are drawn to. Dancing to Disney does just that through dance to some of the most famous Disney songs brought to life in dances that are sure to delight! Enjoy the colorful costumes and lights and watch your children become captured in the ballet. THE SLEEPING BEAUTY FAIRIES Choreography: Wade Walthall Music: Peter Tchaikovsky To introduce children to a more mature style of dance, The Sleeping Beauty Fairy variations have been chosen to educate children through music, costume and dance. These variations take place during Princess Aurora’s christening and each fairy bestows a gift to the royal child. Each variation shows different qualities and temperament that are passed on to the baby princess. FANCY NANCY: Bonjour, Butterfly Choreography: Mary LeGere Music: Claude Debussy, Peter Tchaikovsky, Darius Milhaud Adapted from: Fancy Nancy: Bonjour, Butterfly by Jane O’Conner Costumes: Heather Garvin after Raleigh Dance Theatre and illustrations by Robin Preiss Glasser Narration: Carole Marcotte Set design: Vicki Armes, Thomas Mauney after Robin Preiss Glasser Nancy thinks butterflies are simply exquisite. And that is why she can't wait for her friend Bree's Butterfly Birthday. It's going to be the fanciest birthday party ever! But when Nancy finds out she can't go because her grandparents' fiftieth anniversary party is the same day, she is furious. (Mad is way too plain for how she feels.) Will Nancy be able to overcome her disappointment? In this magical story from bestselling duo Jane O'Connor and Robin Preiss Glasser, everybody's favorite fancy girl gets a surprise lesson in fancy from her grandparents. Looks like fancy runs in the family after all! Premiere: November 1, 2008 • Adapted from Fancy Nancy: Bonjour, Butterfly.
