konverjdans IN PARTNERSHIP WITH
PRESENTS:
Welcome to the 2021 Riverside Dance Festival. I am so thrilled to finally
konverjdans
(after a postponement in 2020) have konverjdans back with us in Vero! The
fact that this is a true convergence and the company is sharing the stage
with our own resident dancers and students from this year’s festival, well, I
could not have asked for more!
I think what has always drawn me to Tiffany, Jordan, and Amy (and
therefore konverjdans) is that I truly take inspiration from both who they
are as people and who they are as artists. I have always been inspired by Tiffany Mangulabnan, Jordan Miller, Amy Saunder
their warmth, passion, and daring. This last year it was a joy to see how they
responded to the global pandemic: doing more (with less) than some major Artistic Directors
dance organizations I know. They not only did more, but the art they created
was good! Trust me, that last point may seem superfluous, but it isn’t. Their Katherine Eppink, Camilo A. Rodriguez,
willingness to take a bad situation and use it as a springboard for growth in Anders Southerland
their art and company got me through many moments of self doubt recently, Guest Dancers from Ballet Vero Beach
and for that I am truly grateful.
Speaking of self doubt, I had a chance to do a lot of soul searching and self Sweet Megg
reflection this summer. No, I did not achieve enlightenment, but I did circle Guest Musician

things BVB as we start our ninth season. Keep surrounding myself (and by
extension all of you) with inspirational artists and individuals. That goes And Students From The 2021 Riverside Dance Festival

Dream a Little Dream of Me
CHOREOGRAPHY: Caili Quan
For this piece, choreographer Tiffany Mangulabnan worked with the students over MUSIC: ‘Dream a Little Dream of Me’ performed by Sweet Megg
Zoom, from the Philippines, and collaborated with each of them individually to shape
their own unique phrases of movement. Much of the movement is also influenced by Anders Southerland
their improvisation sessions with the konverjdans directors, and finally structured
to the live music of Sweet Megg, who has been collaborating and performing with
konverjdans since the company’s founding in 2016.

a work that has evolved with the company since its founding five years ago, with multiple our beloved Ballet Master, Camilo A. Rodriguez, we were pleased to introduce
iterations over the years. Its musical score and choreographic structure have been our “Ballet Master’s Circle”. The circle recognizes major benefactors who have

EDUCATION AND ENGAGEMENT
I N I T I A T I V E S
Ballet Vero Beach seeks to promote the universal language of dance to the
broadest spectrum of our community. To that end, the company provides
absolutely free educational enrichment and performance tickets to local
organizations serving constituents who would not ordinarily access our
programming. Additionally, we provide absolutely free student matinee
performances to 1st, 3rd, and 4th graders in Indian River County. We are
currently partnering with The Learning Alliance to transfer these matinees
into conduits to assist with early literacy. Our Accessible/Family Friendly
Series seeks to provide subsidized professional level arts experiences for
individuals with differing abilities as well as families with young children.
Please support our partner organizations, local educators, and funders in
these endeavors. We hope you will make our guests feel welcome, and thank
our entire community for recognizing that the arts are an integral part of our
society.
Ballet Vero Beach is thrilled that youth constituents from both
our Ticket Donation Program and Student Matinee Series
participate on stage in “Nutcracker on the Indian River.”
To learn more about our Ticket Donation Program or Student Matinee
Series, or if your organization or educational program would like to
Ballet Vero Beach’s education participate, please contact us at info@balletverobeach.org.
