Play it loud

Don’t miss a pair of works that shatter expectations of what ballet can be. Featuring world-renowned choreographer William Forsythe’s New Suite and a world premiere by creative powerhouse Stephen Galloway, this electric program will have you at the edge of your seat.

Get ready for the untamable energy of William Forsythe’s New Suite, a collection of pas de deux from selections of his earlier works. These dynamic duets showcase the groundbreaking style that secured Forsythe’s place as an international visionary.

Then Forsythe's protégé Stephen Galloway brings serious swagger to the stage with a much-anticipated world premiere (originally slated to premiere in May 2020). The former Creative Movement Director for The Rolling Stones draws on his collaborative energy with Mick Jagger to create sizzling choreography set to a kinetic soundtrack with fashion-forward costumes. 

Note: This program has been optimized for the health and safety of patrons and performers by shortening the length of the program and eliminating intermissions.
