A collection of five ballets packaged together are The Joffrey Ballet’s upcoming offering. All five will be performed February 12th - 23rd; here is a preview of what will be danced:
1. Commedia - a Christopher Wheeldon choreographed piece inspired by the “Pulcinella Suite” by Stravinsky. 2. Mono Lisa - a very athletic, physical interpretation by Itzik Galili of the pas de deux in strident, sharp style, set to music by Thomas Hofs. 3. Bliss! - Another Stravinsky piece, this time one of his two chamber concertos, “Dumbarton Oaks Concerto”, dance orchestrated by Chicagobased Stephanie Martinez in her latest work. 4. The Sofa - Centered around a piece of furniture of the ballet’s name, Galili displays a
love triangle comedy of errors, accompanied by the sounds of Grammy-winner Tom Waits. 5. The Times Are Racing - The title dance is Tony Award-winner Justin Peck’s “sneaker ballet”, on the process for creating change and the power of protest, backed up by the music of Dan Deacon. Take the opportunity to see the work of four great choreographers with a range of musical genres in one compelling night - for tickets or more information, please see their website at joffrey.org.
STAYING AT A HOTEL? IT PAYS TO TIP THE HOUSEKEEPER EVERY DAY. Exchange a few pleasant words with the housekeeper if you see him/her and leave a $2 or $3 tip each day. You’ll get better service. Housekeepers are the most overworked, underpaid, underappreciated people in hotels. Knowing the housekeeper also reduces the chances that your room will be burglarized. Dishonest housekeepers are less likely to target guests they have met. And if a thief enters your room while it is being cleaned and pretends to be you – a common ruse – the housekeeper will be able to spot the impostor.
