About the Performance
The first half features two world premieres:
Rodney Rivera’s new work, It’s Not About Numbers, explores the intergenerational relationship between youth and old age, using humor and a sense of innocence to convey a powerful message about the wisdom that comes with age and the lasting influence of youth.
Francisco Gella, a Santa Fe-based choreographer, will present Swinging through Day and Night, a vibrant piece performed by our most advanced dancers, celebrating friendship, virtuosity, and the joy of creative collaboration.
The second half offers an innovative rendition of the beloved Carnival of the Animals by Camille Saint-Saëns, featuring a live orchestral arrangement conducted by Dance Barns Music Director Jessie Wenchieh Lo, alongside creative lighting, costumes, and set designs by our talented artistic team.
Tickets go on sale to NDI New Mexico families on January 13, 2025 at 10:00 a.m. and to the public January 20, 2025 at 10:00 a.m.
