Ballet Pacifica has received a $10,000 award from the Laguna Beach Festival of the Arts to help support creation of a new work for the company’s 1989-90 season. The money will be used to underwrite the choreographer’s fee, costumes, scenery, lighting, recording of music and dancers’ rehearsal time.
The Festival of the Arts has been awarding Ballet Pacifica grants in increasing amounts since 1964, according to the company’s founding artistic director, Lila Zali.
