This season, Roxey Ballet is proud to announce it will revive its full-length Jungle Book Ballet “Mowgli, for its Classic Stories concert this Spring. A young man raised by wolves and tempered by the dangers of the jungle, Mowgli struggles to find his way to a village populated by this own kind. Drawn from the stories of Rudyard Kipling’s Jungle Book, Mowgli sets virtuosic choreography by artistic director Mark Roxey against vivid sets that capture the wildness of the protagonist. An evocative score by Czech composer Milan Svoboda, meanwhile, mingles traditional orchestration with anthemic set pieces that draw on European pop music and Svoboda’s other callings as a jazz pianist, bandleader, and part-time wolf.
Mowgli is a family-friendly performance for all ages. The story itself teaches audience members that one should let go one's fears and move forward. The production is directed by Mark Roxey, director and co-founder of this acclaimed professional company, and features more than 100 costumes designed by Alicia Worden and Nilda Roxey and unique lighting design by Jeffrey Goldstein. Complemented by an international star cast of professional performers, Roxey Ballet draws on the abundant local talent pool from neighboring communities, including Lambertville, Flemington, New Hope, Doylestown, Hopewell, Titusville, Lawrenceville, Pennington, Ewing, and Princeton.
The Roxey Ballet is a world-class contemporary ballet company that maintains a full schedule of local, national and international touring. Roxey Ballet was incorporated in 1995 as a New Jersey non-profit organization. Their mission is to deliver artistic and cultural excellence through professional dance performances, residencies, educational programs, workshops and master classes.
