Dayton Ballet announces ‘New Music’ winners
Susanne Payne’s ballet “Interactions,” to an original score by Jesse Ayers, was chosen the winner in the Dayton Ballet’s New Music for New Dance competition.
It was one of three new dance works to new scores premiered by the company March 24-27 at the Victoria Theatre. All music was played live.
Daniel Karasik’s “Fixed Action,” to music by Jeff Olmsted, was the audience’s top choice.
Payne’s choreography was selected by New Music for New Dance adjudicators Gerard Charles, artistic director of BalletMet; Kathleen Moore, former American Ballet Theatre principal dancer, and Stephen Mills, artistic director of Ballet Austin.
New Music for New Dance, presented with a grant from the Miriam Rosenthal Trust Fund, also included Cydney Spohn’s “Shaded Dimensions,” to music by James Barry.
Music panelists were Dayton Philharmonic Orchestra music director Neal Gittleman, composer Steven Winteregg and music producer William Sellers.
