Los Angeles Ballet 2024-2025 Season
In a season that kicks of in December with the perennial Nutcracker, Los Angeles Ballet is emphasizing collaborations with other artists and organizations in order to produce new works and engage with the community.
“This season features some important steps forward for LAB, steps that allow us to continue to pursue what quality dance can mean for Los Angeles.
Our new partnership with The Wallis Annenberg Performing Arts Center in Beverly Hills is a meaningful residency for contemporary works and connects us in a deeper way to the fabric of the performing arts community in LA. Our new series Off Balance creates space for works with a broader range of art disciplines and will launch with a collaboration with renowned artist, Shantell Martin. We are also increasing performances that feature live music by the Los Angeles Ballet Orchestra.”
Melisa Barack, Artistic Director of Los Angeles Ballet
2025 begins with Memoryhouse, a piece by Barack set to Max Richter’s score of the same name which shares the Jewish experience in a multi-genre dance production.
For the inaugural event of Los Angeles Ballet’s new program which encourages dance exploration away from the traditional theatre stage, Shatell Martin’s Off Balance will be performed at Destination Crenshaw’s Sankofa Park.
Accompanied by live Prokofiev music, the season will close with The Washington Ballet‘s Artistic Director Edwaard Liang’s version of Cinderella.
