Fall Ballet
An evening of works that range from a piece dedicated to Chopin to a Balanchine classic and a world premiere from the youngest choreographer ever commissioned by the New York City Ballet.
Repertoire includes Danilova’s Chopiniana, Balanchine’s Allegro Brilliante, Wheeldon’s This Bitter Earth, and a new premiere by Gianna Reisen.
The Nutcracker
Jacobs faculty choreographer Sasha Janes shatters stereotypes in his reimagined version of this classic ballet, telling the story from the perspective of curious young Marie.
With assistance from her Aunt Drosselmeier, Marie learns to unlock the power of her creativity to take the audience with her on an incredible adventure.
This contemporary take on a fantastical story still features the iconic score by Peter Ilyich Tchaikovsky—and leaves us wondering where reality stops, and imagination begins.
Spring Ballet
This night combines a new work, a classic and a to-be-determined delight for a rich mix of ballet choreography.
Five Balanchine duets followed by Sasha Janes combining ballet technique with big band rhythms offered by our own Jazz Studies Department. Plus, a third piece to be announced.
