The Joffrey Ballet presents a roster of choreographers with new approaches, a positive impression for the future of ballet. 

“Your love affair with ballet, your time with ballet, is short,” explains Welsh about his ballet Bespoke, “Eventually you lay down, and dance keeps moving. It’s a bittersweet thing.”

The world premiere of Annabelle Lopez Ochoa's ballet about the legendary Mexican painter Frida Kahlo is unsurprisingly colourful and highly dramatic by design. 

An operatic deconstruction of La Bayadère in Ghent that has ingenuity and flair but is also over-stretched.

Sumptuous costumes, brilliant colors, excellent dancers create a glorious show which is unfortunately too long for the material.
