Dancing ‘Fool’s’

The Wild West meets ballet!

On April 9, the Covenant Ballet Theatre of Brooklyn revives its Wild West-inspired ballet, choreographed by Artistic Director Marla Hirokawa, and will present two new works.

The ever popular “Fool’s Gold” is a fairy tale about a young man who struggles with greed and lawlessness after becoming entangled with an evil spirit known as the Siren. Guest choreographer Matthew Westerby will premiere “The Red Scare,” a high energy dance set to music by Cut Chemist, a new wave technotronic group. Another new work, “Brought to Light,” also by Hirokawa, is inspired by medieval cathedral architecture and set to J.S. Bach’s majestic Passacaglia and Fugue in C minor.

Covenant Ballet Theatre of Brooklyn’s “On Track” program at the Kingsborough Performing Arts Center at Kingsborough Community College [2001 Oriental Blvd. at Decatur Avenue in Manhattan Beach, (718) 368-5596], April 9 at 2 pm and 8 pm.

Camp Lee Mar

A private 7 week residential summer program offering a unique curriculum incorporating a strong Academic and Speech program with traditional camp activities. Our campers flourish at Lee Mar due to the structured environment we provide which allows our campers to feel comfortable and secure. Careful study is made of parent input, school (IEPs), camper interview, etc., so that the interests and needs of each child can best be determined for suitable grouping prior to the camper arriving. At Lee Mar the children find comfort and friendship with children of similar age and functioning level. From this foundation we encourage our campers to embrace and learn new skills and have new experiences which they can build upon on their return home. We also focus on building friendships which last throughout the year, as well as learning how to cope with the dynamics of group situations. Development of the whole child is our goal. We work hard at improving the daily living, social, and life skills of our campers, while giving them the happiest summer of their lives!
