Contemporary Ballet is alive, thriving and pushing in Boston

Boston Ballet opens the 2017-2018 season with a program full of power, grace and artistic unity

With INTENSIO, a program of new dances he commissioned, Simkin is clearly making a major move.

Boston Ballet's second program at Lincoln Center's David H Koch Theater showed off the company's terrific speed, musicality and versatility. 

The Dutch National Ballet presents four brand new choreographies in Dutch Doubles, working together with acclaimed artists from different fields.

To open the second half of its 50th anniversary season, Boston Ballet presents a trio of contemporary works that showcases the company’s ever expanding repertory and deepening talent pool with Close to Chuck Reborn.

Ballet San Jose opens its 2014 season with Neoclassical to Now featuring works by Balanchine, Jorma Elo and Gaga founder Ohad Naharin, with delightful results.

Change is in the air at Ballet San Jose, and Saturday night’s star-studded gala to welcome new artistic director José Manuel Carreño proved this in a big way.

Thirty years after its last visit to London, Boston Ballet has returned to the British capital in a celebratory mood. With the company opening its 50th season, the London tour has been planned both to launch the anniversary and to strengthen the growing international reputation of the company.

Boston Ballet’s Fall Program is a mix of three contemporary pieces, with music ranging from the Rolling Stones to piano and organ arrangements by J.S. Bach and electronica by Thom Willems. It began and ended on an upbeat, bookending a thoughtful (and thought-provoking) world première centerpiece.

Scottish Ballet’s brief trip south of the border - just two performances - not only brought a company of vital athletic dancers to the capital but also chose the occasion to announce its new artistic director.
