Show Wed/Thurs/Fri, May 9-11, 2018 The Park Record C-3 Continued from C-1 Ballet will dance to ‘Oz’ staging the dances. “It’s been fun, because it has become a collaboration of sorts,” she said. “As I teach the dances, the kids will do something different or make a mistake and I will go, ‘That’s the best thing for the piece.’ So they have helped created pieces of these works based on who they are, and it’s cool to see these young artists create theses roles in step and personality.” The performance does use a bit of narration, but doesn’t rely on it to tell the story. “This is a classic tale and we didn’t have to get trapped in details,” Snarr said. “So we go from big scene to big scene on the yellow Brick Road, and that works just fine.” As the audience follows the dancers into Oz, they run into the Ozettes who perform a Radio City Rockettes-style number and there is a contemporary-dance cyclone, according to Snarr. “Dorothy will be in her pointe shoes, and there will be another contemporary dance piece in the Tin Man’s tin-trash junkyard,” she said. “We tried to find ways in the production to fit all of these styles together. It’s been an adjustment for me to figure out how to use everyone’s strength.” The music was culled from different sources other than the well-known 1939 film soundtrack, and Stephen Schwartz’s 2003 Tony Award-winning retelling, “Wicked.” “It took quite a lovely few days to create a score of music by many other artists, and we edited the songs together so the music matched the styles of each dances,” Snarr said. “I think if we would have used the original ‘Wizard of Oz’ music, it wouldn’t have made it easy for the different dance styles to flow together.” The costumes and sets are also the result of mixing and LOOKING FOR EXTREME QUALIT Y 3140 CRESTLINE DRIVE 4 Bedrooms | 5 Bathrooms | 4,280 Square Feet | 3-Car Garage | $2,590,000 This 4-bedroom, 5-bathroom home has all the quality features one would desire, including a main floor master suite plus 3 en-suite upper bedrooms.

The performance will also feature Ballet West Academy’s younger dancers in a few numbers before the curtains rise on “The Wonderful Wizard of Oz,” Snarr said. “The younger dancers will have their own time in the spotlight,” she said.
