Aszure Barton & Artists Busk October 8, 2009

One of Canada’s most talented young choreographers, Aszure Barton is rapidly carving out a place for herself on the international dance scene. Currently the Resident Choreographer for Les Ballets Jazz de Montréal, Ms. Barton has choreographed new works for Mikhail Baryshnikov, Sydney Dance Company, The Martha Graham Dance Company, and the Broadway stage. Drawing from classical ballet and contemporary dance vocabularies, Barton plumbs the human psyche to craft a new work that explores the visual architecture of movement, color and sound.

Busk is co-commissioned by Ringling International Arts Festival, The Banff Centre (Banff, Canada), and Danceworks (Santa Barbara, CA). Additional support has been provided by the Howard Gilman Foundation. Personalabs.com and JustGetTested.com are proud to sponsor Busk by Aszure Barton.
