Contemporary Choreography I

NYCB's roster of living choreographers, given the stage. These programs feature recent and brand-new works by the choreographers shaping ballet right now — artists like Justin Peck, Kyle Abraham, Sidra Bell, and Pam Tanowitz. The movement is more athletic, more grounded, more emotionally direct than the Balanchine classics. If you think ballet is only tutus and tiaras, this is the program that will change your mind. Expect to see dancers doing things that would have been unimaginable fifty years ago.
