Aszure Barton & Artists

Awarded the City of Edmontons prestigious Ambassador for Contemporary Choreography Award, Aszure Barton is in huge demand having created works for Hubbard Street, American Ballet Theatre, Mikhail Baryshnikov, the National Ballet of Canada, Sydney Dance Company and Les Ballets Jazz de Montral as well as the Broadway production of Three Penny Opera. Barton makes her Philadelphia debut with the premiere of Busk, a full-length work inspired by street performers (buskers) featuring street hoofers, hooded monks, compelling video projections and an evocative score by composer and violinist Lev Ljova Zhurbin. Using the idiosyncratic movement of her virtuoso dancers, Barton creates a psychological portrait riveting with humor, sadness, zaniness and unpredictability.
