Ballet Co.Laboratory Reveals 2025/26 Season

Ballet Co.Laboratory has announced its 2025/26 season, featuring six productions that challenge ballet’s traditions and invite audiences to experience the art form in bold new ways.

“In a time of uncertainty—both in the arts and the world at large—we remain certain of the extraordinary power of the arts to gather us in shared experience, open our minds to new perspectives, and fill our hearts with renewed strength,” says Founder and Artistic Director Zoé Emilie Henrot. “The productions in our 2025/26 season were selected to help audiences and artists dream together, find connection, and imagine new possibilities.”
