Joffrey: Mavericks of American Dance tells the story of this groundbreaking cultural treasure, known as the first truly American dance company. Narrated by Mandy Patinkin, the film documents how The Joffrey Ballet revolutionized American ballet by daringly combining modern dance with traditional ballet technique, combining art with social statement, and setting ballets to pop and rock music scores. Joffrey: Mavericks of American Dance weaves a wealth of rare archival footage and photographs with interviews featuring former and current Joffrey star dancers, showing the full history of the company from its founding to the present. It describes how the Joffrey repeatedly resurrected itself after devastating financial and artistic setbacks and introduced cutting-edge choreographers such as Twyla Tharp, Laura Dean, and Margo Sappington to larger audiences.

The film screens Saturday, January 28 at 1:30 (with a live simulcast of the premiere at New York City’s Lincoln Center) and 6 p.m., and on Sunday, January 29 at 3:30 p.m. General admission is $9.

The beautiful tale of Cinderella has touched the hearts of millions worldwide. For the first time ever, The Royal Opera has staged the beloved story as told in Massenet’s opera Cendrillon. Laurent Pelly brings his characteristic lightness of touch, wit, and elegance to Massenet’s delightfully tuneful score against sets and costumes of fairy-tale charm. Joyce DiDonato takes the title role, with Alice Coote as her Prince Charming. The iconic fairy godmother, played by Eglise Guttiérez, portrays the version of the tale that gained popularity from the published fairy tales of Frenchman Charles Perrault. Musical highlights include the fairy godmother’s airy coloratura, the orchestral dances of the ball, the March of the Princesses, and of course rapturous duets between the prince and Cendrillon. French music specialist Bertrand de Billy is the conductor for an opera of radiance and charm. The film screens Sunday, January 29 at noon and Tuesday, January 31 at 7 p.m. Admission is $18 for seniors, University of Miami alumni, faculty, non-UM students, and staff. General admission is $22. Free for UM students. To purchase tickets online or for more information, visit www.cosfordcinema.com or call 305-284-4861.
