Together, these performances celebrate both tradition and transformation in movement.

The 2025 season also includes compelling new works by guest choreographers Dean Elliot, Katya Gray, Davide Di Giovanni, Hoyori Maruo, and Airu Matsuda, each bringing a distinctive choreographic voice to the stage.
