(PRESS RELEASE)_(West Palm Beach, FL – February 25, 2022) The Raymond F. Kravis Center for the Performing Arts is hosting a soul-stirring ArtSmart Lunch & Learn event next month focused on Palm Beach County’s favorite dancer, dance photographer and juicy backstage raconteur.

March 21 at 11:30 am (Monday)
Lunch & Learn:
Survival Instinct:
A Dancer’s Story of Self-Reinvention
with Steven Caras
(A Kravis Center Cultural Society Event)
(ArtSmart Continuing Arts Education)

The Emmy Award-winning public television documentary Steven Caras: See Them Dance recounted a boy’s daring journey at a time when men pursuing dance rarely escaped unscathed. Filmmaker Deborah Novak touches on this, leading to Caras’ extraordinary transition from being the youngest male dancer in Balanchine’s New York City Ballet to becoming its ultimate image maker as one of the leading dance photographers of all time. In fact, the 2012 documentary was named “Best Television Film” of the year at the Worldfest-Houston International Film Festival.
 
In Survival Instinct, Steven Caras boldly picks up where the documentary leaves off—revealing in even more intimate detail his glorious milestones, occasional setbacks, and personal struggles with sexuality. Inspiring, profoundly moving, and wickedly funny, Caras will also share stunning images of some of the greatest dancers the world has ever known.
​
Gimelstob Ballroom in the Cohen Pavilion
Tickets: $100

Note: Admission includes lunch prepared by Catering by The Breakers at the Kravis Center.

Jupiter Resident Earns Coveted Ballet Spot

(PRESS RELEASE)_February 22, 2022 (Jupiter, Fla.) — It’s a real-life Billy Elliot story.

Similar to the young hero of the Broadway blockbuster and film, a talented American teen who started ballet classes only five years ago has earned a sought-after training program spot at one of the world's foremost professional ballet schools: the Dutch National Ballet Academy in The Netherlands.

Jupiter resident Devon Luxton, 17, was selected through a rigorous video audition process as one of 177 dancers worldwide invited to audition at Barcelona’s Grand Audition on February 8 and 9, a prominent audition opportunity for dancers (ages 17-26) to be seen by directors of multiple international ballet companies. After the first day, the dancers were narrowed down to 49 (of whom Devon was the only American male dancer), and only 10 of those dancers were offered positions by company directors. Devon was one of them — accepting a coveted placement that most young dancers can only dream of.

“It was an amazing experience,” said Devon. “I’ve known for some time that the Dutch National Ballet was where I wanted to be. I can’t wait to continue training in their pre-professional division starting this fall.”
