The Stories We Tell

2 performances, one on Friday, February 4th 2022 and one on Friday, February 5th 2022.

This repertory performance will include four unique works that emphasize the range and depth of emotion that dance can express.
Serenade by George Balanchine is a timeless display of neo classical ballet virtuosity swathed in tulle.
Offscreen by Alejandro Cerrudo is a charming nod to classic cinema with whimsical seamless movement.
An excerpt from Lar Lubovitch's iconic Concerto 622 is a gentle duet examining the solace of genuine human connection. Ghost(Light) by Craig Davidson is a contemporary ballet feast for the senses exploring light, shadow, and the side of the theater the audience is seldom able to see.

An exciting survey of six works, nearly all of which will be world premieres.
