James Sewell Ballet, Jan 31; Interlochen

The internationally acclaimed James Sewell Ballet company combines the classical virtues of ballet with the freedom of modern dance and the spirit of vaudeville. Public Radio fans take note: the program will include ìGuy Noir ñ The Ballet,î in which Detective Guy Noir goes under cover into the world of ballet to protect a ballerina in peril. Set to a collection of American jazz music, ìGuy Noirî features film noir lighting and voice-over narration by Garrison Keillor. ìDifferent and unpredictable, this is the company to see.î ñ The New York Times

James Sewell Ballet was founded in 1990 by James Sewell and Sally Rousse when both danced in New York companies. Together they envisioned their own small, close-knit company of artists willing to expand their notions about ballet and to perform work that challenged their physical limits.
