BALLET QUAD CITIES INSPIRES BUCKTOWN ART EXHIBIT
DAVENPORT, IOWA - Art lovers and dance enthusiasts alike will delight in David R. Anderson's "Pas de Deux/A Dance for Two," a collection of new artwork inspired by Ballet Quad Cities. A celebration of ballet, dance, and the magic of movement, the exhibit will be on display at Bereskin Fine Art Gallery and Studio from April 1 through May 7, 2016
Anderson spent a year sketching, painting, and photographing the company of Ballet Quad Cities in preparation for his latest artistic endeavor. "Ballet is the perfect artistic expression of movement. A beautiful balance of skill and athleticism creates a magical perception of lightness and a sense that the dancers are floating on air," he said. "Adding artistic set designs, stage lighting, creative costuming, and moving music during a live performance creates a harmonious and wonderfully unique experience.
Anderson will be on hand to discuss his work at the opening night reception on Friday, April 1 from 6:00 p.m. to 9:00 p.m. Special guest Courtney Lyon, Artistic Director at Ballet Quad Cities, will describe her experiences choreographing the classic ballet The Firebird at 7:00 p.m.
"Pas de Deux/A Dance for Two" can be viewed any time during Bereskin Fine Art Gallery's regular operating hours. Wednesday through Saturday from 11:00 a.m. to 6:00 p.m. The Firebird, presented as part of Ballet Quad Cities's Russian Fairy Tales, will be performed at the Adler Theatre on April 30.
Bereskin Fine Art Gallery is located at 225 E. 2nd St., Suites 102 and 104, Davenport, Iowa 52801. For more information contact owner Pat Bereskin at 563-508-4630.
