Trey McIntyre Project
 |
The mission of Trey McIntyre Project is to advance the art of contemporary ballet in innovative and ground-breaking ways by nurturing, supporting and producing the work of choreographer Trey McIntyre.
To use the inherent beauty of ballet vocabulary to create dances that authentically and clearly convey the emotion and grace of life’s journey, while meaningfully engaging audiences in the experience of art.
In July 2005, Trey McIntyre Project burst onto the national dance scene as a summer touring company with its debut performance at The Vail International Dance Festival. Trey McIntyre Project’s “fresh and forward-thinking choreography” (Washington Post) was an immediate sensation with both critics and audiences alike.
The company went on to perform at some of the most prestigious summer venues in the country, including Jacob’s Pillow and Wolf Trap National Park for the Performing Arts, premiering works created during annual residencies at White Oak Plantation. Guided by Trey McIntyre’s unparalleled ear for musical structures, Trey McIntyre Project’s repertoire spans rock (A Day In The Life, set to music by The Beatles and High Lonesome to music by Beck), classical music (The Blue Boy to Beethoven and (serious) to Henry Cowell, jazz (Ma Maison, a collaboration with Preservation Hall Jazz Band), historic bluegrass music selections (Go Out) and folk music (Leatherwing Bat to Peter, Paul and Mary).
Galvanized by overwhelming critical success during the summer tours, and an eager demand for national and international touring, Trey McIntyre Project launched as a full-time, year-round company for Year 1: 2008-09. The company embarked on a 25-city tour across the US and abroad from its new home in Boise, ID, with commissions from three of America’s esteemed presenting organizations, and institutional support from such organizations as The MAP Fund, the National Endowment for the Arts, M.J. Murdock Charitable Trust and National Dance Project. August 2009 Trey McIntyre Project began Year 2: 2009-10 with the commissioned premiere of The Sun Road at Wolf Trap, celebrating the vast and changing Glacier National Park as part of their acclaimed Face of America series. From there, Trey McIntyre Project will again tour to more than 25 cities across the US creating and performing the works of Trey McIntyre.
