Rehearsing Mark Morris' Sandpaper Ballet | KC Ballet Presents Bliss Point

Get insights into the experience of rehearsing Mark Morris' Sandpaper Ballet from stager Tina Fehlandt, and KCB Company Dancers Amaya Rodriguez and Whitney Huell.

Sandpaper Ballet by Mark Morris, explores the relationship between movement and music, as the dancers gracefully move across the stage to a percussive score, creating a mesmerizing visual and auditory experience.

Bliss Point is a creative and intriguing production featuring three contemporary dance pieces. The term “bliss point” refers to the perfect balance of flavors that create the ideal taste experience, and the title of the production suggests that the performance aims to create a similarly perfect balance of movement, music, and themes. Additionally, the title has a sense of whimsy and playfulness, which is fitting for a production that includes the lighthearted and humorous Cacti by Alexander Ekman. Overall, Bliss Point captures the unique blend of styles and emotions that these three dance pieces bring together.
