Odyssey Dance Theatre – 7

Director’s Note Dear Patron, Here we are celebrating our 21st anniversary season, and I can’t help but reflect on this amazing “Odyssey” we’ve been on and the incredible year we have had.

Thriller was a huge hit again with two companies for the ninth year in a row and over 52 performances and our tenth year in a row winning Best of State Dance Company and second time winning all Arts & Entertainment. Something seems to be going right!

We recently had our fifth annual competition/workshop at the Utah Valley Convention Center and next, we are off on our eleventh consecutive European tour--shows every night in a different city, for a wild three weeks; standing room only and standing ovations every night.

The ReduxNut-Cracker, our updated version of the Christmas classic, was great fun to do and well received by our audiences in Salt Lake, Ogden and St. George, too, proving that we have found our own niche of Utah’s holiday entertainment market for years to come.

And now we’ve brought back two audience favorites and added two more World Premieres!

Please be sure to select Odyssey as your favorite charity on March 31, 2016, the fourth annual Love UT Give UT--the statewide day of giving event (loveutgiveut.razoo.com) and help Odyssey continue to bring world-class dance and entertainment to our community.

Thank you for your support!

Guest Artist GARRETT SMITH (Prodigals) Born in Salt Lake City, Utah, Garrett began his training with Utah Regional Ballet, where he danced in the 2002 Winter Olympics Opening Ceremonies and toured Austria in the Tanszsommer Festival.

Garrett was named a Presidential Scholar in the Arts where he was honored to meet George W. Bush at the White House and perform his choreography at The Kennedy Center.

While studying at the Houston Ballet Academy, Garrett created five works for Houston Ballet II’s repertoire, which were taken on tours through the United States, China, Hungary, and Toronto. Garrett later joined Houston Ballet and created his first work on the company through an award presented to him by Peter Martins from the New York Choreographic Institute. Garrett was later commissioned by Houston Ballet to create new works in their 2013 and 2015 seasons.

Garrett is on contract with Norwegian National Ballet, where he has had the pleasure to work personally with Jirˇí Kylían, Nacho Duato, and Alexander Ekman. He has danced other works by William Forsythe, Jorma Elo, Stanton Welch, Nicolo Fonte, Christopher Bruce, Liam Scarlett, and Medhi Walerski. Garrett is a guest artist with SALT Contemporary Dance, where he has created two new works for the company’s repertoire and worked with choreographer Gabrielle Lamb. Garrett was a selected choreographer for the National Choreographers Initiative 2014, and he has been commissioned by other companies to create new works, including Norwegian National Ballet, Milwaukee Ballet, and Ballet West. Garrett recently won 1st place for Milwaukee Ballet’s 2015 “Genesis” International Choreographic Competition, and was selected to create on New York City Ballet in the fall session for the 2015 New York Choreographic Institute.

Guest Artist BONNIE STORY (MJ) EMMY AWARD Winning choreographer Bonnie Story is one of the country’s most in demand dance makers, whose work has repeatedly been featured on the hit FOX dance show “So You Think You Can Dance”.

She was a choreographer on all three of Disney Channel’s smash hit “High School Musical” films, directed by Kenny Ortega, which won her the prestigious EMMY award and another nomination, to add to her list of accomplishments.

Bonnie served as co-choreographer for the opening and closing ceremonies of the 2002 Salt Lake City Winter Olympics and has choreographed the films “American Mall” (MTV Films), “Rock N Roll Forever”, “Dear Dumb Diary”, “America’s Greatest Pastime”, the Disney film “Virtual Perfection” and the soon to be released “Saturday’s Warrior”. Television credits as a choreographer include “Touched by an Angel”, “Suite Life of Zack and Cody”, and numerous Disney Channel segments featuring Ashley Tisdale, Miley Cyrus, and the Muppet’s. Bonnie has choreographed commercials for the Ohio zoo, Miche Bags, Zion’s Bank and most recently Courtyard Marriott, for which she won the 2015 World Choreography Award for “Best Choreography in a Commercial”. She has choreographed and staged numbers for huge live event spectacles including the popular Sugar Bowl, Orange Bowl and Liberty Bowl half time shows, for Redken International and for the past 3 years for NU SKIN International. She was one of the choreographers for the Cirque du Soliel show inspired by the music of Elvis Presley, called Viva Elvis and a new Los Angeles celebrity musical event called “Loving the Silent Tears”. Bonnie has enjoyed choreographing music videos for artists such as Alex Boye, Lucas Grabeel, Lindsey Stirling and the Japanese boy band “News”.

In addition to her choreographic endeavors, Bonnie brings outstanding credentials and experience to the world of entertainment. She attended Julliard and the School of American Ballet, and was a Ballet West and William F. Christensen scholarship recipient at the University of Utah. Bonnie danced in several Ballet Companies as a Principal Dancer, including Ballet West before moving to Los Angeles. As a veteran television and film performer, she has appeared in national commercials for MasterCard, Pepsi with Michael J. Fox and Shaquille O’Neal, Diet Pepsi with Ray Charles, and AT&T. Bonnie has also performed in many music videos such as Michael Jackson’s Smooth Criminal, and worked with the late music icon again on an MTV anniversary project.

Bonnie is a highly sought after guest teacher who teaches and choreographs for many institutions throughout the country and has taught her special brand of jazz within the Ballet Department at the University of Utah and on several popular dance conventions.

Roxanne Hasegawa Roxanne was born and grew up in Salt Lake City, Utah. She attended Granite High School and was class Historian her senior year, after graduation she attended The University of Utah.

Roxanne loved what she did, she started as an usher at the Salt Palace where her love of music, sports, events and people grew. She then had a 16-year career at KSL Television working in programming and news. For the past 14 years she worked at KTVX where she helped start and produced “Good Things Utah”; however, She never had just one thing going, she was involved as a publicist for numerous athletes, dancers and musicians and was instrumental with events like Comic-con.

Helping people and charity was a major part of who Roxanne was, she connected people in the best way and is responsible for marriages, successful careers and lifelong friendships.

Recently we lost a dear friend and cheerleader for the entire Dance Community.

Roxanne Hasegawa was a wonderful person who loved dancers and what they do and was a tireless promoter of the Utah dance scene. For years she has been a supporter of Odyssey and used her influence in the media to help us get the exposure and support that she felt we deserved. So it is with great respect and appreciation that we wish to dedicate this opening night and season to her. We wish her family and friends to know how much her advocacy meant to all of us, and her passing is truly a sad day for dancers all over Utah.

Thanks, Rox! Save a spot for us dancers there in the sky!
