Green Box residency precedes Guggenheim world premier
Green Box Arts, based in Green Mountain Falls, has scored another hit this month. After an event-filled arts festival in July, the nonprofit organization hosts the dancers of “Brokeback Mountain, the Ballet” during a three-week residency this month.
The dancers will perform the ballet at a world premiere at the Guggenheim Museum in January in New York City.
Commissioned by Works & Process, the dance is taken from a short story written by Annie Proulx.
According to a press release, Works & Process residencies support more than 1,000 artists, whose incubated works have been recognized with awards and grants, have toured nationally and internationally with the U.S. State Department.
The Green Box residency culminates in a free in-process showing from 3 to 4:30 p.m. Aug. 15 at the Sallie Bush Community Center. For reservations, call (719) 465-3065 or go to greenboxarts.org.
