JOFFREY SLATES ENGAGEMENT IN ORANGE COUNTY
The Joffrey Ballet will conclude its current nine-city tour Sept. 22-27 with a seven-performance engagement in Segerstrom Hall at the Orange County Performing Arts Center.
Repertory will includes works by nine choreographers, including Vaslav Nijinsky, Leonide Massine, Sir Frederick Ashton, Paul Taylor and Gerald Arpino, the company’s associate director.
The tour has been underwritten by a $200,000 grant from Philip Morris Companies Inc., which has contributed $750,000 to the company’s touring programs in the last six years.
The Joffrey’s appearances at the Costa Mesa center will precede the company’s fall season at the Dorothy Chandler Pavilion in Los Angeles, which is to open the week of Sept. 28 and run through Oct. 18.
Except for a revival of Nijinksy’s “Le Sacre du printemps,” repertory for the Los Angeles run has not been announced.
