Ballet Nepantla will collaborate with multigenerational dancers for a presentation of Mexican Revolutionary history at the Tobin Center.
Of the unusual level of collaboration for Ballet Nepantla, Guajardo said “It’s very special.” In particular, the incorporation of the Abuelitas will add dimension to the performance given that some members of the troupe, aged between 72 and 84 years old, likely have ancestors who were involved in the Mexican Revolution.
Champion saw Ballet Nepantla perform during the company’s first San Antonio visit in 2021, and she and her troupe members are thrilled to have been invited by the CULTIVAR program to share a stage with the Nepantla dancers. ‘Abuelita epistemology’ Like Champion, Stephenson also saw a previous Ballet Nepantla performance in San Antonio, and said, “I just fell in love with the company. … They have this amazing ability to fuse classical dance with contemporary influences that are based upon folk performances.”
The 15 Armstrong students, ranging from kindergartners to fifth graders, will perform a Chiapanecas traditional dance from the state of Chiapas.
