We are trying to reach out to our hearing impaired and visually
impaired community, and I am hoping that you will help us to get the
word out. American Repertory Ensemble, a fairly new dance and music
company in Austin TX are pleased to be able to offer Assistive
Listening Devices for all of our performances this summer. We also
hope to have a sign language interpreter for our post-performance
discussion following the Saturday Matinee. Please let us know if you
have a group who would like to attend so that we can discuss a group
rate, and so that I can try to get an interpreter specifically for the
performance that they would like to attend. We will also provide an
Audio Description for our visually impaired audience at the Saturday
Matinee performance. Please visit our website
http://www.americanrepensemble.org
for more information. Call or email me if you have any questions.
Thank you.

Ensemble’s Passion at Play
Austin’s acclaimed dance and music company brings international dance
stars to the Lone Star State
AUSTIN, TX (June 30, 2008) – American Repertory Ensemble (ARE)
presents its 3rd Summer Performance Season, Passion at Play, July
25-27, 2008 at the McCullough Theatre on The University of Texas at
Austin campus.
Passion at Play is the latest creation from the cutting-edge mind of
ARE Artistic Director David Justin. Fresh off the heels of a
well-received performance at Big Range Dance Festival and 15
nominations from the Austin Critics Table, Austin’s most original arts
organization presents another ground-breaking performance featuring
principal dancers from the San Francisco Ballet, New York City Ballet,
and Twyla Tharp’s “Movin’ Out.”
The audience will travel the globe on an emotional journey with
jazz-influenced composer Michael Torke in the vibrant and sassy new
work, “Speed Dial,” the playful, romantic Spanish flavor of “Valses
Poeticos,” the British elegance of “The Dance House,” and the American
reinvention of the classic “L’Apres-midi d’un faune” by ARE’s own
David Justin.
In this concluding show of its third season, ARE will produce seven
Austin premieres and present international dance stars Tina LeBlanc
and Joan Boada of the San Francisco Ballet, Michelle Gifford of the
New York City Ballet, Anna Laghezza of Miami City Ballet, Griff Braun
and Eric Otto of the American Ballet Theatre, and Laura Feig, recently
from Twyla Tharp’s award-winning “Movin’ Out.” These premier dancers
will partner with Austin-based, world-class musicians Karla Hamelin
(cello), Aurelien Petillot (viola), Amra Catovic (flute), Alice Wang
(clarinet), Graeme Francis (percussion), John Carroll (trumpet) and
Yu-Hsuan Liao (piano).
As always, this collection of artists combines live music, dance, and
theatre in an accessible way to create a one-of-a-kind show that
pushes the boundaries of traditional arts. Along with stretching these
notions at each performance, ARE advances the level of arts available
locally by acting as a city ambassador and introducing international
performers to the beauty and hospitality of Austin. Local students and
performers also gain the opportunity to practice with, learn from, and
connect to the world’s best.
ARE’s Passion at Play runs July 25 & 26 at 8:00 pm and July 26 & 27
at 2:00 pm at the McCullough Theatre in the University of Texas
Performing Arts Center (2390 Robert Dedman Drive). Tickets are $25 for
general admission ($15 for students, seniors, UT faculty & staff) and
are available in advance at ARE’s Web site or at the door. For more
