Ballet 5:8’s School Creates Brand-New Story Ballet on Pilgrim’s Progress
April 18, 2018 FRANKFORT, IL – People who are new to Ballet 5:8 will often ask where we “get” our story ballets. One person once asked specifically if we buy them, just like a theatre group would purchase the music and licensing rights to perform, for example, a Rodgers and Hammerstein musical. In short, the answer is no! The creation of brand-new work is one of the very core aspects of Ballet 5:8’s mission to engage communities in conversation of life and faith through innovative storytelling and breathtaking dance. Our ballets - including Ballet 5:8 School of the Arts’ newest project, Pilgrim’s Progress - are concepted, choreographed, designed and staged completely from our main studios in Frankfort, IL.
