Hailed by The New York Times, The New Yorker, Dance Enthusiast and more, arts nonprofit BalletCollective commissions emerging, established and acclaimed choreographers, composers, writers and visual artists to collaborate on ballet-based works. BalletCollective’s work has been presented by the Metropolitan Museum of Art, Joyce Theater, NYU Skirball Center, Guggenheim Works & Process, PEAK Performances, Guggenheim Bilbao, Vail Dance Festival, the Fire Island Dance Festival, and the Savannah Music Festival. To date, BalletCollective has partnered with a roster of 280+ acclaimed artists, architects, authors, choreographers, composers, musicians, designers, and dancers (“The Collective”) to make 20+ works.
Live Choreography Showcase will pull back the veil on the creative process, allowing audience members to experience the intimate dialogue between choreographer and dancer as a new work is brought to life, live on stage.
“This is an amazing opportunity for Poughkeepsie and the surrounding community to get up close and personal with professional dancers and experience the process of creating new works,” said Kathy McDonald, Artistic Director of Willow Dance Center. “We are so thrilled to bring this caliber of performance to the community.”
