Original choreography blooms and blossoms in PUB’s ‘Spring Production’
Princeton University Ballet takes the stage this weekend in the company’s spring show, “Spring Production.” The simply titled performance allows PUB to showcase its members’ increasingly creative choreography and technical prowess without worrying about adhering to a theme. The 90-minute performance features both classical variations and contemporary pieces. This semester, the program also includes a piece by guest choreographer Donna Salgado, artistic director of CONTINUUM Contemporary/Ballet in New York City. The noticeably longer show (with 21 pieces in total) tends to have a slower pace than desired, but several fantastic moments of near-choreographic brilliance and impeccable showmanship remind audiences how great PUB can be.
