Bold. Cinematic. Human
At Ballet 5:8 we create works that challenge who ballet is for and what it can say. The Curious Life of Edgar Allan Poe tests those boundaries, in a fusion of storytelling and movement. It brings Poe’s inner world to life through fearless artistry.
We are thrilled to take The Curious Life of Edgar Allan Poe on tour during our 26/27 season with performances in Baltimore and Albuquerque.

Today we explored the courage of small moments and the beauty of the mundane things like wringing out laundry and nourishing a family. Women Who Carry Water is in its early days and we can’t wait to see how the courage of centuries of women will run through the movement and the dancers as they create.

Women Who Carry Water, a new ballet by choreographer Julianna Rubio Slager, begins with a question: What happens when women have the opportunity to tell their own stories—and we truly listen?
Through community story circles, movement workshops, and conversations, women from across Chicagoland will help shape a new contemporary ballet, premiering at Chicago's Harris Theater on April 17, 2027.
You can be a part of making these stories come to life onstage. Give today to our Kickstarter fund linked in our bio.

For Kayla Kowach, Anastasis becomes interesting the moment she stops being simple. It would be easy to play her as a beautiful, happy angel. Instead, Kayla looks for the mystery underneath that surface, the quality that draws Emma and the audience toward her without immediately explaining who she is. Kayla does not want Anastasis to resolve every question. She wants the audience to feel intrigued enough to look more closely, to sense hope before they can fully name it, and to discover the character alongside Emma.
