Dubbed the “punk rock ballerina” by Vanity Fair, choreographer Karole Armitage has worked with everyone from Balanchine, Baryshnikov and Merce Cunningham to visual artist Jeff Koons and pop icons Michael Jackson and Madonna. Tony-nominated for her choreography on the recent Broadway revival of Hair, Armitage’s unique blend of ballet and contemporary dance has taken her from American Ballet Theater to Paris Opera Ballet and most recently back to New York to form her own dance company, Armitage Gone! Dance.
Armitage’s newest work, Fables on Global Warming, is the result of a multi-year collaboration with musicians, visual artists and scientists. Using the familiar animal fables of Aesop, La Fontaine, traditional American Indians and Chuang Tzu, the hour-long performance blends Armitage’s unique blend of classical ballet and contemporary dance with the witty words and music of singer/songwriter Corey Dargel, and the imaginative costumes and puppetry of visual artist Doug Fitch. Woven into the fabric of this intelligent and enchanting performance are ideas about climate change, preservation and responsibility -- resulting in a performance that will entertain and enlighten audiences of all ages.
