The Ritz Theatre 2011
July 14th-17th, 2011
This was an amazing show to work on that brought so many artists together. We were able to bring in three incredible choreographers to work with the company. From jazz legend, Zoe Sealy, who has been such a force for Jazz Dance in Minneapolis, and one of my greatest mentors. Molly Breen, who I first met performing in a can-can dance and has now become a great friend, is such an incredible talent and brings such joy to the stage with her work, you just have to get up a dance! Judith James Ries who I watched in awe as she performed for so many years with JAZZDANCE by Danny Buraczeski, came back and choreographed another breathe-taking piece for EEE.
We also worked with 3 incredible and eclectic composers. We brought back and re-vamped Warren Park’s quirky Mechanical Toys Piece that we first performed in 2006. Then had the great pleasure of working with Michael Rossetto; one of the founding members of the Spaghetti Western String Co. We had been in contact for a couple of years on joining forces to create a new piece for EEE, and it finally happened! I was so beyond proud and amazed with the piece we created in Still.
Then my wonderfully talented father, Richard Sloss, composed two pieces for Send in the Jazz. The Cactus Dance and Workin’ ‘itle that was performed by students who participated in EEE’s first studio jazz intensives at 4th Street Dance in White Bear Lake, Prairie School of Dance in Eden Prairie and Ballare Teatro in Minneapolis. It was such an incredible experience working with these students and bringing them in to perform with EEE!
