A.V.A. Ballet Theatre's Vortex, the Ballet That Rocks

At the Robert Z. Hawkins Amphitheater in Bartley Ranch Regional Park, A.V.A. Ballet Theatre presents Vortex, a contemporary ballet energized by rock, dance, and alternative music as part of the Artown festival. Artistic director Alexander Van Alstyne leads choreography that merges classical technique with the pulse of popular rock, sending dancers across the stage in powerful grande jetés. The production reshapes the amphitheater with scaffolding, vivid props, and bold scenic elements to create an immersive atmosphere. Thanks to support from the Robert Z. Hawkins Foundation, the E.L. Cord Foundation, and the Arthur and Mae Orvis Foundation, admission is free. Gates open for picnicking before the performance. A.V.A. Ballet Theatre is the resident company of the Pioneer Center for the Performing Arts and is northern Nevada’s largest ballet organization, guided by a professional faculty with deep experience in major ballet and production companies across the United States and Europe. Vortex appears within the 31st annual Artown festival, a citywide summer celebration featuring hundreds of events presented by cultural organizations and businesses.
