Attitude

Nashville Ballet displays its Attitude with works from three of the country s most dynamic, cutting-edge choreographers combine to create a performance full of entertaining and inspiring contemporary dance.
Ploughing the Dark
A hauntingly romantic duet, Ploughing the Dark is inspired by the life of Anton Chekhov and his wife Olga Knipper, who lived in different cities pursuing their individual careers and kept their relationship alive through deeply personal and poetic love letters. Their relationship… Show more remained alive through love letters, which inspired Slipper s intensely passionate choreography, set to music written by American Composer and Vanderbilt University Associate Professor of Composition Michael Kurek. Nashville Ballet last performed Ploughing the Dark in 2007.
The Whistling
Set to Cuban music from the 1940 s, The Whistling choreographed by Dominic Walsh, is a fun, light-hearted ensemble performance.
