The Grand Rapids Ballet’s latest abstract performance ballet
is a hit. The piece, titled “Exotica,” is an experiment by artistic director Gordon
Pierce Schmidt.
According to excerpts from the story:
"Exotica," a piece of abstract ballet, opened last
Friday for an audience that may have scratched their heads a little over the
plot but applauded enthusiastically over the performance.
Premiered last May, "Exotica" was inspired by a
short story, "A Find," by author Nadine Gordimer.
