New Ballet to Present The 8th Annual Fast Forward Featuring World Premieres
Choreographers include Julio Hong, James Kopecky and more.
New Ballet will present the 8th annual Fast Forward, two evenings of new contemporary ballet by seven choreographers.
Fast Forward provides the opportunity for emerging choreographers, both local and from around the country, to experiment. The program offers New Ballet Company Dancers the chance to perform work that has been created specifically for them, and to grow as artists and be part of the creative process. In addition, the choreographers provide the audience with a behind-the-scenes understanding of the new works by discussing the choreographic process and providing context and insight into their inspiration.
