KillSport, a new contemporary dance by Ellen Bartel
with original music by Andy Hadaway,
is a satirical portrayal of the killer instinct in the
most innocent of creatures. Taking from images
of the current political environment, video games
and family pets, Bartel’s imagination brings to
life the darker side, the aggressive nature of society,
and how it changes from a Utopia to a battleground.
Stuffed animals, fake blood, rainstorms and moonlight
are some of the images for the eyes to feast upon.
Add fantastic dancing, choreography
and music and this dance will not disappoint.

For 30 years Les Ballet Jazz de Montreal has been internationally
renowned as one of the most innovative and sophisticated
contemporary dance companies. The Austin program includes
“The Stolen Show,” by Canadian choreographer Crystal
Pite and “Mapa,” a new work by choreographer Rodrigo Pederneiras, of the Brazilian company Grupo Corpo. “The Stolen Show”
deals with the gap between art and entertainment
and perfectly displays the refined energy and flawless
technique of the dancers. Neoclassical forms and popular
dances from Brazil are combined in the dazzling creation
of “Mapa,” an homage to the music of Marco Antonio
Pena Araujo.  The LA Times says, “Sexy choreography
(and) indefatigable dancers caused a sensation,”
and the London Times exclaims, “a smooth meeting point
between ballet’s long, clean lines and the thrusting curves
of a more vernacular movement style.”
