Jamie Scott (former Cunningham dancer and Princess Grace Award recipient) of the Cunningham Trust restages Duet from Landrover on Brooklyn Ballet company. The piece, which originally premiered in 1972 at the Brooklyn Academy of Music, is rooted in the exploration of people moving through different geographies and representing varied spaces with varied backgrounds.
For this season’s performances (April 19-22), Brooklyn Ballet is embracing multifaceted dance styles and refashioning historical works. One of those historic works is The Four Temperaments (1946) by legendary dancemaker George Balanchine. A ballet with unceasing appeal, The Four Temperaments references the medieval concept of the psychological humors that exists within every person: melancholic, sanguinic, phlegmatic, and choleric.
Brooklyn Ballet is excited to present Revisionist History, a provocative and diverse Spring season of broad range and repertoire. This Season's offerings include works of legendary dance makers George Balanchine, Merce Cunningham, Isadora Duncan and Michel Fokine, as well as premieres of mixed genre and interdisciplinary works by Founding Artistic Director Lynn Parkerson.
Brooklyn Ballet creates in a spirit of inclusivity and in celebration of diverse dance styles. This is the core of our mission. After a run of sold out performances last year, The Brooklyn Nutcracker is back, and bigger than ever before. It is the perfect show for Brooklyn, and we hope you will become a backer. Your gift supports the creativity of our choreographers & collaborators, the excellence of the dancers, and the promise of our Youth Ensemble.
We are pleased to invite you to our Opening Night Gala of The Brooklyn Nutcracker! Tickets include premier seating to this acclaimed holiday performance, immediately followed by a sumptous dinner at Maison May - a beautiful and intimate brownstone, just a short walk from the theater. Dinner will be a specially-chosen menu of locally sourced, sustainably produced farm-to-table fine cuisine.
We are thrilled to present the return of The Brooklyn Nutcracker, December 7-16, at the Irondale Center in downtown Brooklyn. Following a sold-out premiere season in 2016, The Brooklyn Nutcracker fuses ballet, hip-hop and an array of world dance genres to create a new tradition for today’s audience.
