BalletCollective Unveils 13th Season: "The Entrance is the Exit" Mark your calendars! BalletCollective's 13th season, "The Entrance is the Exit," kicks off in New York City from October 29 to November 1, 2024, at Trinity Commons. This exciting season brings two world premieres created through BalletCollective's unique interdisciplinary approach. Inspired by the season's theme, "The Entrance is the Exit," both ballets will delve into the concept of change and explore the interwoven nature of endings and beginnings. The first piece is a collaboration between choreographer Troy Schumacher, the talented brass quartet The Westerlies, and visual artist Jordan Bennett. The second ballet features choreographer Houston Thomas, the fifth recipient of BalletCollective's prestigious Commission for Developing Choreographers, collaborating with composer Jonathan Bingham and cultural practice architect Mario Gooden.


BalletCollective's Commission for Developing Choreographers has become a cornerstone of the dance community, and with 170 applications received for the 2025 cycle, the program's impact is undeniable. Get ready for an immersive and irreverent experience at BalletCollective's second annual Gala on October 29, which will showcase the world premieres of the new ballets. Following the Gala, audiences can enjoy critically acclaimed choreographer Troy Schumacher's 2023 work, "The World We Left Behind," on October 30 and November 1. Due to overwhelming demand after a sold-out 2023 season, BalletCollective has added an extra performance this year to accommodate all dance enthusiasts.
