The Farm to Ballet Project is celebrating local sustainable agriculture while introducing new audiences to the beauty of classical ballet. Director Chatch Pregger’s choreography reinterprets classical ballet to tell the tale of a Vermont farm during the harvest,beginning with the geese returning in spring as a farmer plans out the crops, and ending with a celebratory farm-share before the geese return south for the winter.
The performances are held against the backdrop of Vermont farms and the surrounding landscape, and many of the performances double as fundraisers to support the work of local farmers and the sustainable food movement. During its inaugural season in 2015,the project’s eighteen volunteer dancers performed for more than 1800 enthusiastic audience members and helped raise $12000 to support local nonprofits. befriend bring the 2016 season to life here.
