Community Performances

btc presents about a dozen educational and interactive programs each year for a low fee or as a community service to further educate the public. Our performances take place in a variety of venues including schools, libraries, community centers, bookstores, and more!

 

The Leaping for Literacy Project

 

The Leaping for Literacy Project has been established by ballet tech cincinnati to celebrate literacy through fun and entertaining performances, and to encourage families to read together and use their own creative skills to reinforce their interest in books. Studies have shown that children who read and are read to at home are more successful in school. Reading is essential! This program comes to fruition each spring, when we perform our family-friendly, literacy based original ballets. This year's production, "Rikki TIkki Tavi" will feature original choreography by Padma Chebrolu and take the audience into the magical world of Rudyard Kipling with amazing costumes, colorful sets, and a variety of dance styles including Traditional Indian Dance, Chinese Dance, African Dance, Ballet, and more.Past Productions include "Happily Ever After" - a journey through time and across our nation with inspiring stories of courageous American youth. The production is based on the “Dear America,” “American Girl,” and “My Name is America” book series. "Happily Ever After"a show packed full of charming and clever characters from an assortment of beloved fairy tales; The Seuss-inspired production, "Green Legs and Ham" performed to sold-out crowds; and "The Conductor's" an uplifting tale of separation and strength, tribulation and triumph, about one family’s quest to obtain their freedom through the Underground Railroad. These past productions are now part of our Educational Touring Company's repertoire - made up of area youth and community members. We tour area schools and community venues promoting literacy and the arts, and are part of the Cincinnati Arts Association's Artists on Tour program. In addition, the project includes an annual poster and poetry contest and outreach performances to area libraries and bookstores.
