Show Notes
On today's episode of 'Conversations On Dance' we are joined by Artistic Director of Ballet West, Adam Sklute and choreographer Val Caniparoli. At the outset of Ballet West's 2024-2025 season, Adam lays out his vision for the company, including the season opener of Val's "Jekyll and Hyde". Val and Adam talk about their long artistic relationship, how new story ballets are the lifeblood of classical ballet companies and what "Jekyll and Hyde" does to push dancers and audiences alike. If you are in the Salt Lake City area, performances run October 25th through November 2nd and can be purchased at Balletwest.org.
