As the ballet’s energy builds to its breathless finish, the silver-clad dancers cross the stage in Laura Dean’s signature geometric patterns and mesmerizing repetitions.
In 1993, The Joffrey Ballet took international audiences by storm with Gerald Arpino’s production of Billboards, a full evening of dance set to the music of Prince. In Billboards, four different choreographers created radically different takes on Prince’s music. Laura Dean’s Sometimes It Snows in April opened the evening and was performed to the title song, “Trust”, and “Baby, I’m a Star.” This revival marks the first time the work has been seen in nearly a decade.
