Beautiful Once - BalletX

In response to these most chaotic moments in life, this work is in honor of community, inclusion, and divine resilience. The dancers of BalletX, Ryan Lott, Michael Korsch, and Martha Chamberlain Stiles are key collaborators to this work, and I am grateful for their dedication and artistry.
