Ballet Arizona’s new choreographic initiative for emerging voices marks the inaugural program of its kind and is a capstone to the company’s 40th anniversary season. These dancers have created original pieces through experimentation and collaboration. And now, these staged works-in-progress invite audiences to observe original ballet at the cusp of evolution.
