ARTISTIC DIRECTOR MESSAGE Welcome to Grand Rapids Ballet’s Alice in Wonderland! This production was created specifically for us in 2017 by choreographer Brian Enos and I am very pleased to be able to bring it back. With immersive visual design by Luis Grané and an eclectic musical score, this is a fresh take on a classic tale: full of wit, humor, colorful characters, and fantastic dancing.

Alice in Wonderland is our final production of the 2018-19 season, my first as artistic director. As I reflect on my beginnings here, I am so proud of what we were able to accomplish: a hugely successful gala; record-breaking The Nutcracker sales; works from renowned choreographers, many of them brand new to Grand Rapids audiences; nine world premieres, including a collaboration with Grand Rapids Symphony; sold-out performances; and new dancers excited to come to Grand Rapids from across the world. I’d like to thank the dancers, staff, and Executive Director Glenn Del Vecchio for putting faith in me and my vision for Michigan’s only professional ballet company.

Needless to say, I am excited about our future. Our 2019-20 season promises to take us further than we have ever been with magical family-friendly classic story ballets such as Firebird and A Midsummer Night’s Dream to contemporary and neo-classical masterpieces to world premieres from some of the strongest voices working in the dance world today. We have put a fresh focus on season subscriptions, including a brand new Saturday matinee Family Series geared towards introducing your young ones to the world of professional ballet. I am also pleased to announce we will be performing on June 8 as a part of Festival of the Arts and also presenting a full evening of dance on August 20 at the amphitheater at the Frederik Meijer Gardens & Sculpture Park. Please refer to our website for more details; I hope you will join us.

All of this exemplifies our mission to lift the human spirit through the art of dance, and I hope to bring the joy and artistry of Grand Rapids Ballet to the people of West Michigan and beyond. Thank you to all who have taken the time to say hello and welcome me into your community. As always, I appreciate your thoughts and comments and look forward to many more seasons together!

INSIDE THE MIND BEHIND THE MADNESS By company dancer Connie Flachs

Brian Enos stands in the front of the studio, dressed head to toe in

black. His focused gaze is directed on the three girls learning Alice, waltzing across the center of the room.

“Good, good,” he declares softly. Approaching one of them, he asks her to stretch her leg farther in the arabesque pique and turn her pirouette more quickly. He demonstrates with fluid agility and she follows his lead, moving farther and with more dynamic range after incorporating these corrections.

Enos himself is a study in contrasts. Soft-spoken but direct. Kind but demanding. Even his succinctly styled mohawk hair is the opposite of what one would expect from a ballet choreographer. In essence, this makes him the perfect choice to choreograph Grand Rapids Ballet’s production of the classic story Alice in Wonderland, returning May 3-5 and 10-11, 2019, after it’s triumphant 2017 premiere.

Enos’ choreographic style draws on classical ballet technique, but the steps you will see on stage are a far cry from Swan Lake. The Mad Hatter and March Hare tango, the Cheshire Cat slinks jazzily across the floor, the White Rabbit spins neurotically with ferocious abandon.

The score arranged by Brendan Vincent keeps with this fresh and modern feel. The story is taken out of the Victorian age and into a more abstract, timeless place. While the production has elements of the Disney version and is assuredly family-friendly, the ballet is modernized and complex.

Enos began his conception of the production by reading the original Lewis Carroll story. Despite the story’s original reception as “sheer nonsense,” Carroll’s puzzling world has persevered over time, appealing to both children and adults alike. Enos determined the ballet would follow the book more closely than the movie, incorporating some of the darker elements of the story and keeping with his sensibilities as a person.

16

BRIAN ENOS O

riginally from San Francisco, Brian Enos began studying ballet at 16. After his training at the Maria Vegh Ballet Centre and Houston Ballet Academy, he joined Houston Ballet at 18. He went on to dance for the acclaimed Hubbard Street Dance Chicago for eight years, before retiring from the stage in 2010. He is currently the artistic director of The Big Muddy Dance Company in St. Louis, Missouri.

LUIS GRANÉ MEET THE VISUAL ARTIST BRINGING WONDERLAND TO LIFE

Born in Argentina, Luis Grané studied medicine and worked in a human anatomy laboratory at Buenos Aires University before studying fine arts and graphic design. Following his true passion, Grané moved first to London where he worked in advertising for almost four years, and then to Mexico, where he worked in visual arts and advertising and became strongly influenced by Mesoamerican Art. Grané then moved to Toronto, where he won the Dick Friesen/Zlatko Grigic Award for Excellence in Animation at Sheridan College in 1996, and was recruited by DreamWorks Animation SKG. This meant relocating to Los Angeles, where he worked as an animator, visual effects artist, and character designer for DreamWorks, Pixar, Disney, Laika, Sony Pictures, Aardman, and Warner Brothers.

His credits include films as diverse as The Prince of Egypt, Spirit, Spiderman 2 (Academy Award Winner for Best Visual Effects), The Matrix, The Aviator, Ratatouille (Academy Award Winner for Best Animated Feature), Hotel Transylvania, Diary of a Wimpy Kid, and The Boxtrolls. He has also collaborated with numerous renowned directors such as Sam Raimi and Richard Linklater.

While pursuing his career in Hollywood, Grané attended Peter Liashkov’s painting workshops for two years and studied painting with Bonita Helmer at Otis College of Art. Grané's original work as an independent artist has been featured in group exhibits at the Pozzi Gallery in Buenos Aires, the Cartoon Museum in London, and the Enisen Gallery in Los Angeles, and worldwide as part of the Sketchtravel Book art project.

20

His work was also selected as the cover of the Totoro Forest Project book, an artistic venture that gathered prominent artists from around the world to save a forest in Japan. Grané currently works in his studio in the Arts District in Downtown Los Angeles and recently published his first solo book,“Sad Stories.”
