“The movement changes throughout the ballet depending on where we are. I've enjoyed creating and performing Grey Town, which is athletic and full of dynamic movement. " - Lead Artist Brette Benedict
Read More“The Space in Between takes contemporary ballet as we know it to a deeper, more thought-provoking level, highlighting C.S. Lewis’s unique perspective on eternity from The Great Divorce." - Company Artist Emily Ratkos
Read More“The story has revealed to me that Hell doesn’t just have to be seen as the stereotypical pit of fire we’ve all come to imagine, but actually is a place where self-reliance, isolation, hatred among others, and a lack of surrender reside. Watching the Narrator travel through the darkness of Hell to the effervescence of Heaven has been such a powerful journey to witness in rehearsals." - Company Apprentice Kennedy Ditzhazy
Read More"I have most enjoyed the classical partnering that I do in the ballet. In the recent years I have been doing a lot of contemporary partnering, something I also enjoy, but this has been a nice change of pace." - Company Artist Sam Opsal
