I am thrilled to share with you all of the beauty that is in store for Ballet 5:8’s 2023-2024 Season. This year we’ll see the return of the critically acclaimed BareFace, as well as the creation of three new works created by Steve Rooks and myself. This season we will look at both the light and the shadow side of the world we share as we light our torches in an ever-blackening darkness. I hope the ballets we put before you will be a comfort and an inspiration as you journey with us to the worlds of of the past, present, and far future. In every realm we will ask ourselves how the ancient art of storytelling can illuminate those around us, and perhaps even ourselves.
