Precup, formerly a full-time dancer in the troupe, will dance a romantic pas de deux with prima ballerina Jenna Johnson in his piece Rhapsody. (The two are married in real life.) He also ch ....
Courtesy Rialto Theater Bit by bit, the arts are opening up in Tucson. And the arts organizations are dreaming up clever new ways to keep their artists and fans safe from COVID-19. In the coming weeks, Ballet Tucson will send its dancers to perform in the great outdoors, and the Yume Japanese Gardens will host Funhouse Movement, performing Japanese Butoh dance among the plants. Untitled Gallery opened last week after months in lockdown, and the Rialto, which doesn t plan to stage concerts until the end of summer or later, has temporarily turned its space into a gallery of rock-and-roll photos. ....
