Dalia Rawson’s “Rainbow Park” recalls her days watching “cute boys” at Lynbrook High. “It’s intended to be nostalgic and fun.”
When San Jose’s New Ballet presents its “Fast Forward” show at the Hammer Theatre Center on April 2, one of the pieces on the program — featuring all original, new works — will be very dear to the heart of founder and director Dalia Rawson.
“I tried to make something evocative of those years, that captured the feeling of driving over the hill to Santa Cruz with friends with loud music and windows down,” Rawson said. “It’s intended to be nostalgic and fun.” The rest of the program should have a NorCal vibe to it as well. There’s a ballet by Duncan Cooper — formerly of Dance Theatre of Harlem, S.F. Ballet and American Ballet Theatre — who started his training at Santa Clara Ballet School with Rawson, and a work by Amy Seiwert, resident choreographer of Smuin Ballet and former director of Sacramento Ballet. Two other pieces are by contemporary ballet choreographer Marika Brussel and Argentina-born dancer Mariana Sobral.
Brautigam also will be in town the previous day when he provides a masterclass for the six finalists of the 36th annual Celia Mendez Young Pianists Competition, a group of high school students from San Jose, Palo Alto, Folsom and Aptos. You can get more information about the competition or purchase tickets to the recital at. Tickets are $5 for students and $35 for general admission, or $75 including a post-recital reception with Brautigam.
