Kansas City Ballet: New Moves

Kansas City Ballet: New Moves at Frost Studio Theater At The Bolender Center

Seven choreographers walk into a studio theater, and Kansas City gets to watch what happens when fresh voices take over the stage. New Moves brings original contemporary ballet to the Frost Studio Theater at the Bolender Center, where emerging choreographers Devon Carney, Angelin Carrant, Caroline Dahm, Olivia Emert, Amira Hogan, Elliott Rogers and Morgan Sicklick each present work created for this program.

Come for the pleasure of discovering a choreographer whose work you have not met before. The program gathers several creative voices, so your curiosity has more than one direction to follow. Without a familiar fairy-tale plot setting the expectations, movement itself becomes the attraction. You can enjoy a favorite company taking on new ideas rather than returning to an established story.

The 180-seat Frost Studio Theater puts the Kansas City Ballet dancers in the same room where you're sitting. The 180-seat capacity gives the program a studio-theater identity distinct from the company’s large story-ballet engagements. It is a different kind of Kansas City Ballet date, centered on the discovery of new choreography. You'll see all-new choreography designed for this moment, not reconstructions of repertory standards.
