But Abilities Dance Boston has something different in mind with their new version of the ballet, which will be streamed live from Bostonâs Wimberly Theatre at the Calderwood Pavilion May 14-15 at 8 p.m. The artistic team of choreographer Ellice Patterson, who also plays the title role, and composer Andrew Choe have returned to the narrative of the original fairy tale, about a prince and a Firebird rescuing princesses from an evil sorcerer, to create a new and inclusive ballet. Their production has an original score and movement tailored to showcase the strengths of a diverse cast of dancers, some of whom have disabilities.
