“Often, when an artistic entity is in service of an ideology, the art suffers. With Ballet 5:8, both seem to nourish and enhance each other. The dancing was polished and delightful, and came across as a breath of fresh air.”
“The dance company is technically precise and beautifully graceful… 5:8 Company does a stellar job conveying grief, longing, and some lighter moments of comedy.”
“I wanted to extend my deepest thanks for the opportunity to attend the ballet La Llorona at the Harris Theatre. The performance was absolutely wonderful, a powerful display that beautifully captured the haunting tale with such grace and intensity. The dancers and their movements brought the story to life in ways that words alone couldn’t express, leaving me in awe of the talent and emotion on display. Thank you for making this memorable experience possible. I truly appreciate the work you do to connect veterans like me with the arts, and this performance will remain a vivid memory for a long time.”
