SEASON 26|27
Community | Curiosity | Imagination
Our 17th season, we present nine new works by eight choreographers whose distinctive voices reflect the breadth and vitality of contemporary dance today. The season opens with the 12th edition of Choreographic Shindig, featuring Kayla Farrish, Annie Rigney, and Jessi Stegall. Winter ’27 brings together Peter Chu, Penny Saunders, and Olivier Wevers, while Spring ’27 features Maurya Kerr, Ihsan Rustem, and a second new work by Olivier.
Across three programs, Season 26|27 celebrates artistic discovery, creative exchange, and the power of movement to connect us to one another and the world around us.
“We continue to nurture artists by investing in the creative process, inviting new voices, embracing different perspectives, and taking risks with every creation.”
Olivier Wevers, Artistic Director & Founder
