CELEBRATION AND SACRIFICE
JOSÉ LIMÓN DANCE COMPANY DANCES INTO POPEJOY HALL
Albuquerque, NM - March 17, 2008 The José Limón Dance Company performs three pieces choreographed by José Limón at 7:30pm, Wednesday, April 23. The José Limón Dance Company comes to Popejoy Hall as part of the Popejoy Presents sponsored by Sandia Casino and Blue Cross and Blue Shield of New Mexico.
Founding his company in 1946, José Limón appointed his mentor Doris Humphrey as artistic director of his new company. Many of the dancers from this company have become renowned teachers, greatly influencing the course of modern dance in this generation.
For the program, the company will present Psalm and A Choreographic Offering, two of Limón's greatest works. These pieces demonstrate the virtuosity and grace of the dancers. A Choreographic Offering has a sacrificial storyline subtly woven throughout the work. The original dance consisted of 58 minutes of dancing broken into groups of various sizes. The José Limón Company presents sections of this work in a suite. Psalm is a work simply about the joy of dancing. Originally presented in 1967, this piece was revived for and performed at the 2002 Winter Olympics. The third work they will bring, Traitor, has just been reconstructed for this anniversary year. Retelling the Jesus/Judas tale, it was one of the pieces in which Limón himself danced; and like many of the other pieces in which Limón cast himself, this piece extremely dramatic and expressive.
The company has revived these master works in honor of their 60th anniversary and the 100th anniversary of José Limón's birth. Don't miss this opportunity to celebrate with one of the oldest and most renowned modern dance companies in the country.
Tickets for The José Limón Dance Company are $45, $35 and $31. Patrons may purchase tickets by calling (877) 664-8661. Tickets are sold at UNM Ticket Offices at the UNM Bookstore, Central and Cornell and the UNM Arena (The Pit), University and Avenida César Chávez. Bookstore location hours are Tuesday through Friday, 10am to 6pm and Saturday from noon until 4pm. The Pit location hours are 8:30am to 5pm Monday through Friday. Tickets may also be purchased through UNM by calling 925-5858 or by visiting the UNM ticketing website at http://www.unmtickets.com and at select Albertson's locations.

Popejoy Hall
A PIRATE'S LIFE FOR ME!
HMS Pinafore sails its way into Popejoy Hall
Albuquerque, NM - March 17, 2008 The Carl Rosa Company brings Gilbert and Sullivan's comedic classic, HMS Pinafore, to Popejoy Hall at 7:30pm, on Wednesday, April 16. HMS Pinafore comes to New Mexico as part of Popejoy Presents sponsored Sandia Resort and Casino and Blue Cross and Blue Shield of New Mexico.
On the deck of Her Majesty's Ship Pinafore, ordinary crewman, Ralph Rackstraw has secretly fallen in love with the captain's daughter, Josephine. He is soon crushed however, when the captain announces his plan to have his daughter marry Sir Joseph, First Lord of the Admiralty. Josephine finds herself torn, forced to choose between a life of poverty with the man she truly loves and the wealth she would receive from a marrying a man of status. All too soon, a remarkable twist of fate changes everything when a long-kept secret is let slip, somersaulting our heroes into a heady climax of fun, frivolity and fortune. From secrets to scandal, humorous mayhem lurks in every corner aboard the HMS Pinafore.
Performed by the exceptional Carl Rosa Opera Company with full orchestra, HMS Pinafore promises to be another delightful excursion into the lunacy that is Gilbert & Sullivan.
The Carl Rosa Opera Company is a unique international touring company of 65 musicians, singers and technicians producing high quality opera productions. The aim of the Carl Rosa Opera Company is to inspire, entertain and educate as many people as possible, combining a new generation of fans with the established opera audience through artistic excellence in opera and operetta.
Tickets for HMS Pinafore are $45, $35 and $31. Patrons may purchase tickets by calling (877) 664-8661. Tickets are sold at UNM Ticket Offices at the UNM Bookstore, Central and Cornell and the UNM Arena (The Pit), University and Avenida César Chávez. Bookstore location hours are Tuesday through Friday, 10 am to 6pm and Saturday from noon until 4pm. The Pit location hours are 8:30 to 5pm Monday through Friday. Tickets may also be purchased through UNM by calling 925-5858 or by visiting the UNM ticketing website at http://www.unmtickets.com. Patrons may also purchase tickets at select Albertson's locations.

This is a third party promotion and not necessarily AHL endorsed.
Dear Fundamentals family and community,
For the fourth year, Fundamentals Gymnastics staff and members will be participating in the American Cancer Society's Making Strides Against Breast Cancer walk in Albuquerque, NM on Sunday April 27th.
Each year, we learn of more people we know who have been diagnosed with, survived, or lost their lives to breast cancer. This event is a great way for us to support their struggle and honor their memory by helping to raise not only money, but awareness about this disease. Each year, teams like ours raise thousands of dollars for breast cancer research and to provide free programs to help make the lives of cancer patients easier. This year we aim to do the same, but even bigger and better. We have set an agressive goal of $5,000 to be raised by the members and staff at Fundamentals!
Please take a minute to view our team website which has more information about how you can get involved by donating money, walking with our team, and helping to raise money for the walk!
http://main.acsevents.org/site/TR/MakingStridesAgainstBreastCancer/MSABCFY08GreatWest/1137153142?pg=team&fr_id=3792&team_id=252278
Here are some FACTS about Fundraising for Fundamentals:
* If every gymnast raised just $25, we would easily reach our $5,000 team goal!
* The first 30 gymnasts to commit to raising $50 by April 1st will receive a FREE Fundamentals Making Strides Againts Breast Cancer t-shirt!
* We will keep track of all money raised on the Pink Panther in the lobby. Let the front office know when you've helped by raising money and watch us reach our team goal!
* Create your own personal fundraising webpage by clicking on our team web link above. Then send emails to friends and family asking them to help your efforts!
* Do you know someone who has or had breast cancer? Help us honor them by providing their name to the front office and their pink ribbon will be displayed proudly!
* All funds are due to the Fundamentals office on or before April 23rd!
For more information, please send an email to info@fundamentalsgym.com or call 505-889-4656. Thank you in advance for your support! We hope you will join us on Sunday, April 27th for the Making Strides Against Breast Cancer walk!
Hope starts here.... with us!
