Preview of Rioult Dance
By Emilie Lariviere
On May 6, 2011
The Dynamic Rioult Dance Ensemble performs tonight at 8:00 p.m. in the Alexander Twilight Theatre.
The dance ensemble is choreographed by Pascal Rioult, who is a former principal dancer for Martha Graham.
"One of the most dynamic dance companies in the United States will bring a program steeped in the traditions of modern dance to the Northeast Kingdom for the very first time when the Rioult Dance Ensemble performs," said Keith Chamberlain, director of communications and marketing said in an email.
Rioult was founded in 1994 and has earned the reputation for being a modern dance that presents sensational musical works of Pascal Rioult. The ensemble is from New York City and tours nationally and internationally.
Rioult, the artistic director, is originally from France and came to the United States in 1981 to study modern dance.
First he joined the French Ministry of Culture which led to joining the Martha Graham Dance Company and then started his own company in 1994. He has created his own style of dance.
Nine dancers make up the Rioult ensemble, some of them younger than others, some from the United States and other countries such as Greece.
If you have a passion for dance this event is one you will not want to miss.
This will not be the normal dance recital or performance you have seen before.
