Beautiful afternoon ☀️ Another awesome Nevada

Beautiful afternoon ☀️

Another awesome Nevada Ballet NBT Dance Lab showcase. So proud of the four UNLV composers involved with this wonderful project!

Fantastic opening night of Nevada Ballet Theatre’s NBT Dance Lab. Four of our UNLV Composers wrote new ballets in collaboration with choreographers for this, and it was so wonderful to see their beautiful creations come to fruition. 🩷🎶🎉

Composer/Choreographer:
Danielle Aguon (UNLV) and DaYoung Jung
Matthew Nell (UNLV) and Natasha Adorlee
Colin Marks (UNLV) and Caine Keenan
Kevin Klenke (UNLV) and Makino Hayashi

The composers also had the opportunity to oversee the production of the recordings of their new ballet compositions in the UNLV Recording Studio and learn about the process of tracking, editing/mixing, and working with performers in studio sessions. It was such a fun and exciting process organizing all of this, pairing the composers with choreographers, and working with the students, instrumentalists, and sound engineers.

John McMurtery, flute
Ambroise Aubrun, violin
Andrew Smith, cello
Jae Ahn-Benton, piano

This is the second NBT lab, and many thanks to Roy Kaiser for this incredible opportunity for our student composers to collaborate with distinguished choreographers to create such captivating and engaging works for the stage.

Thank you, Tom Haugen at Take Effect for a wonderful review of my album, Long These Days. 😊🎶

“A gorgeous body of work that takes inspiration from the poetry of Christina Rossetti and Pablo Neruda, the themes of love, empowerment and nostalgia use improvised bouts that provides even more intrigue and awe.”
