Repertoire
Ballet 5:8 creates bold, original ballets that speak to the complexity of the human experience. Our repertoire blends classical technique with contemporary storytelling, often drawing on literature, social issues, and spiritual themes. Led by Artistic Director Julianna Rubio Slager, Ballet 5:8 has premiered over 60 original works and collaborated with choreographers and répétiteurs from around the country.
