Shrewd

A Contemporary Ballet Inspired by
The Taming of the Shrew

Shrewd reimagines Shakespeare’s The Taming of the Shrew through a contemporary lens, exploring questions of gender, power, performance, and agency with nuance, humor, and humanity. Rather than retelling the story as a battle of domination, the ballet reframes the work as an examination of the roles people are asked to perform—and the cost of being misunderstood.
