Kansas City Ballet: New Moves

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

Seven choreographers, seven distinct perspectives, one intimate Kansas City venue. New Moves brings emerging voices to the Frost Studio Theater at the Bolender Center, where new contemporary choreography becomes the main attraction.

Devon Carney, Angelin Carrant, Caroline Dahm, Olivia Emert, Amira Hogan, Elliott Rogers and Morgan Sicklick each contribute original choreography to the Kansas City Ballet program. That range means more than stylistic variety—it's a chance to see how different artists solve the same challenge of putting bodies in space and making movement matter. You can come without a favorite title or a well-known character to follow. The curiosity is which choreographic voice will catch your interest, and how a program of new work will broaden your picture of this company.

The 180-seat Frost Studio Theater changes how you watch. Its 180-seat capacity gives the event a studio-theater identity distinct from Kansas City Ballet’s large story productions. For audiences drawn to contemporary work, this is a specific alternative: choose discovery over a familiar narrative, and give several choreographic voices your attention in one program. The company’s dancers and a collection of new works are the reasons to make this particular ballet date.

New Moves runs through the end of January, offering Kansas City a ground-level view of artists shaping what contemporary ballet becomes next. Grab your ticket and see which voice connects.
