A performance preview between Northrop Director, Ben Johnson and Artistic Director, Myroslav Vantukh.
Held in the basement of Northrop in Studio Four.
Myroslav Vantukh, Pavlo Virsky’s disciple and great expert in folk traditions and ethnography, was handpicked by Mr. Virsky to be in charge of the ensemble since 1980 and was named a National Artist of the Ukraine. His main objective and continuing creative quest is the careful preservation and development of folk choreographic art. It may seem that the peak of accomplishment and professionalism has been reached by the company, but the Virsky Ukrainian National Dance Company, under the direction of Myroslav Vantukh, is creating new dances, full of surprises and delight, and is thus letting people of the world learn more about the wonderful land of Ukraine.
