La Corte de Faraón

National and international contemporary dance artists share the stage in a program of modern movement, varied music and choreographic styles. Presented as part of the 31st International Ballet Festival of Miami, Contemporary Performance I takes place Friday, August 7 at the Manuel Artime Theater. The evening opens the festival’s Contemporary Week, with guest artists and companies presenting a mix of works that reflect current directions in contemporary dance.

The program is designed to highlight a range of approaches within the form, from athletic ensemble work to more expressive and narrative-driven pieces. Performers and participating companies are expected to include artists from the United States and abroad.

Presented by Miami Hispanic Ballet, the International Ballet Festival of Miami brings dance performances, workshops, films and related cultural events to venues across Miami-Dade County each summer. The festival’s broader programming features local, national and international artists across classical ballet, contemporary dance and related disciplines.
