Baby
Ballet Prague
Company of Dance Center Prague Conservatorie
Baby Ballet Prague
- a school chamber company, formed out of the 16 best students from the lower
conservatory classes (3rd - 5th year students of the eight year study, age 13
- 16), was established in December 2003. The core repertory - now more than
20 dance pieces of two and half hours in length - has been developed above all
while studying selective repertory in such subjects like classical, modern and
folk dance, and is enriched by choreographic etudes from the complementary fields
like dance sport, tap dance etc. In 2008 we produced the first full length children
ballet "Dance of the Deep Forest" - the sole project also within the
European context - which moves further our production possibilities as well
as abilities of the youngest interpreters - the future "stars".
Musical component of core choreographies is manifold, too - from Johann Sebastian
Bach to John Cage - which means that from the core repertory we are able to
build a composed programme made to measure to any actual event or dramaturgical
task. Within a frame of extensive stage praxis the company participates in prestigious
artistic projects (cooperation with Prague Chamber Philharmonic Orchestra in
Rudolphinum), and also in interesting motivating sport and social events (Gala
opening of a sports hall, Show dance at a town ball in our partner region, Review
of Elementary Art Schools, Gala performance at a Dance Sport Championship …).
Company programme encompass
some 20 performances a season including the educational performance for schools
"How a dancer is made" and further dance projects appropriate for
this age and efficiency category. Dance Centre Prague Conservatory thus presents
its opinion on the development of modern art education and future qualities
of dance theatre.
The quality "children" ensemble compounds of successful adepts of
professional art studio - based on youthful enthusiasm, virtuous ambitions and
extraordinary energy - and can create very interesting and original dramaturgy,
above all there, where traditional companies cannot for diverse reasons function.
Its interpreters can address theatre-goers of related age far more effectively
than unapproachable adult stars and can motivate them to active and long lasting
interest in dance and theatre; they can lead them to a healthy life style and
right intellectual development.
Low costs and simpler production and technical specifications open its way to
smaller regional theatres and culture centres … even further straight to school
gyms and sports halls. The ensemble is very mobile and can also react to social
and commercial demands outside theatre premises.
