Assemblé 2013 reaches across the bounds of ballet and dance to blend together a wide range of talent in the local artistic community. The performance features the work of several artists. Among the pieces featured is the comedic ballet Graduation Ball, set to the music of Strauss. Also presented is The Fable, an LCCB original, choreographed to music specifically composed for this ballet by the late Keith Gates.
