Good and evil, magic and comedy. Join the Montana Ballet Company (MBC) artists in the studio as they recapture their performance of Winthrop Corey's Snow White. Corey's innovative interpretation of this classic first premiered in 2013 to critical acclaim, and in 2016 MBC performed its Bozeman premier to delighted audiences. MBC is thrilled to perform Snow White again this February. With guests having already seen the show on-stage, MBC artistic staff will lead company dancers through a special post-show working rehearsal, providing viewers an up-close and personal glimpse into what goes on behind the scenes and how MBC brought this famous fairytale to life.
After the rehearsal, staff will lead a discussion about the overarching themes so common in many of our "fairy tales," including Snow White, such as patriarchy, misogyny, youth, and the role of women in society. We will discuss what role we, the community, play in perpetuating these constructs and what responsibility, if any, we have to the young women we teach?
MBC will perform Snow White on Saturday, February 19 at 7:00 p.m. and Sunday, February 20 at 4:00 p.m. at the Willson Auditorium.
P&P's are a collaborative program offered to OLLI at MSU and MSU Retiree Association members.
Advance registration is required.
