Kansas City Ballet: New Moves

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

Seven choreographers shaping one program makes for an evening that refuses to settle into a single mood or style. New Moves at the Frost Studio Theater brings together Devon Carney, Angelin Carrant, Caroline Dahm, Olivia Emert, Amira Hogan, Elliott Rogers and Morgan Sicklick, each contributing brand-new choreography created expressly for Kansas City Ballet dancers. You'll watch ideas collide and diverge as each artist offers a distinct vision of what contemporary ballet can do.

The pleasure is discovery: you can follow a company you already enjoy into work without a familiar plot or an established title telling you what to expect. Several choreographic voices give that curiosity different directions. Perhaps one artist’s approach will become a new favorite; perhaps the contrast between works will be the attraction. New choreography leaves room for either response.

All of this unfolds in a 180-seat studio theater at the Bolender Center, giving the program a studio-theater identity. The Frost Studio Theater setting offers a different sort of Kansas City Ballet date from the company’s large story ballets.

Kansas City Ballet offers a rare opportunity to watch multiple artistic voices in a single program, each one testing new ground. Get tickets for New Moves at Kansas City Ballet’s Frost Studio Theater.
