BALLET ARKANSAS PRESENTS ‘4BYFOUR’
7 p.m., Wildwood Park for the Arts. $15-$25.
This weekend, Ballet Arkansas presents their spring concert, “4byFour.” It’s four ballets, including “Pressing On,” by nationally celebrated guest choreographer Kiesha Lalama-White, which makes its world premiere. And there are three pieces by Ballet Arkansas’ artistic director, Arleen Sugano: “Kisetsu (The Seasons),” which opened to the highest of praises upon its premiere in 2007; “Love Stories,” which comes with accompaniment by Clark Erickson, who composed the music; and “La Citsym,” danced to Benjamin Britten’s “Simple Symphony,” with accompaniment by the Arkansas Symphony Youth Orchestra. That’s a good bit of ballet. Ballet Arkansas reprises the show on Sunday at 3 p.m. at Wildwood.
