The SAMIT Event Group is proud to present the Mosaic International Dance Festival, the UAE premiere of the Bloom Dance, a captivating original dance programme curated by the acclaimed ballerina Natalia Osipova, a principal ballerina with The Royal Ballet in London who is widely regarded as one of the greatest dancers of her generation.
Across the course of the evening, Osipova and her team will enchant audiences with a dazzling performance teeming with a spellbinding mixture of contemporary dance pieces and seminal classical favourities, promising an unrivalled display of beauty and virtuosity. Like a mosaic itself, this specially-designed programme will intertwine the past with the present to form one unified concept, with the inimitable talent of Osipova taking centre stage in this exquisite fusion of ballet and modern choreography.
Joining her along this journey will be several renowned stars from the Royal Ballet and London's Theatre Rambert, as well as the prominent US dancer and choreographer Jason Kittelberger, among others.
Among the highlights of the evening are classics like Giselle Act II pas de deux (Coralli/Adam) and The Dying Swan (Fokine/Saint Saens), along with a number of contemporary pieces, like Valse Triste, by famed neo-classical choreographer Alexey Ratmanski, and Qutb, a piece by one of Osipova’s favourite contemporary artists – Sidi Larbi Cherkaoui, perhaps the most prominent neo-classical choreographer of our time, who has collaborated with such names as Beyonce, and Alanis Morissette.
“It’s important for me that the Bloom Dance Project unites artists from different genres and art forms – neo-classical, contemporary, classical, drama theatre directors and choreographers – so that together we can create new works with a strong mix of dancers and creative team, which inspire and promote the art of dance in its variety of forms to the wider audience. I’m glad I can show this programme for the first time in Dubai within the framework of Mosaic Dance Fest” – Natalia Osipova.
