Discover new voices and ideas at BalletX in Bryn Mawr!
Christian Denice was selected from over 80 international applicants as this season’s Choreographic Fellow. His BalletX debut explores ceremony as a powerful act of healing, memory, and connection, taking audiences on an emotional journey through grief, love, and the rituals that shape us.
Itzkan Barbosa and Lanie Jackson, BalletX company dancers, each premiere dynamic new works this season. Barbosa’s transcendent piece explores resilience and unity, where movement becomes a shared rhythm. Jackson’s exuberant work, inspired by Argentine tango composer Astor Piazzolla, balances classical form with the thrilling tension between comfort and risk.
Noelle Kayser’s audience favorite, Scales on the Wings of a Butterfly, returns after its 2025 debut. Set to an original composition by Jeff Kolar, this intricate work explores the art of microscopic photography and the world of the unseen, powered by Kayser’s detailed, energetic, and evocative choreography.
