Groundbreaking female choreographers
Though commonly associated with dance and ballet, women are often underrepresented as choreographic voices, an injustice Cincinnati Ballet address in this year's three choices from artistic director Victoria morgan. Curated exclusively for Cincinnati audiences, the program includes work from Heather Britt, Annabelle Lopez Ochoa, Jessica Lang and a World Premiere from Jennifer Archibald.
World Premiere
Jennifer Archibald
Choreographed exclusively for the Cincinnati Ballet, this new work promises to utilize Archibald's sensual style, infusing elements of hip-hop with the classical aesthetic.
Habitual
Heather Britt
A highly popular piece, the energetic, innovative Habitual is a tense pas de deux that explores the human fascination with the familiar and our constant need to repeat the same behavior.
A Solo in 9 Parts
Jessica Lang
Nine dancers perform this raw work on a stripped down stage that captures the intensity of the choreography whilst exuding minimalism.
Cylindrical Shadows
Annabelle Lopez Ochoa
Composed in response to the loss of a close friend, Ochoa's Cylindrical Shadows takes the audience on a twisting journey through sadness and darkness to peace and hope, attempting to show us that life and death are not opposites, but old friends.
