Appropriate for grades 6-12 and college students:  Join Charlotte Ballet in the exploration of love, life and loss at Knight Theater. This contemporary performance series features modern works by extraordinary artists. Experience the powerful movements and motions of Jiří Kylián’s Petite Mort. Created for Nederlands Dans Theater in honor of the second centenary of Mozart’s death, the piece plays on the double entendre of ‘little death’ set to the music by the legendary composer. This series will also present Artistic Director Alejandro Cerrudo’s Little Mortal Jump - a work that welcomes audiences to forget the happenings of today and tomorrow and instead transport them to the overwhelmingly wonderful moment of now. Don’t let their titles fool you - these works are anything but little. Rounding out the program is a brand new work by award-winning choreographer Penny Saunders, who has created over 20 contemporary pieces.
