Are You Ready for Friday’s Premiere? – American Midwest Ballet

Premiering this Friday:
Matthew Lovegood’s Rendezvous

The bar is empty and so is your glass. Give up and go home, or give the evening one more chance?

Choreographer/performer Matthew Lovegood’s wry, jazzy style and Lance Glenn’s dynamic direction take full advantage of the vintage-contemporary vibe of the filming location: the McCormick’s 1894 event space at the Hoff Family Arts & Culture Center.

**Rehearsals:** Top row above, Matthew tries out a dance sequence as Lance checks framing. Second row left, collaborators discuss how to move through the space. Center, Lance sets up a shot (no pun intended!) Right, planning the opening sequence.

**Below:** Seen here rehearsing a sequence, Matthew designed his choreography for interplay with the various locations in the performance space.

Join the virtual premiere by watching the film any time beginning at 7 pm Friday on our Facebook and YouTube channels.
