Choreographers often work surrounded by people, but the highly coveted spot at the front of the room can also be a lonely one. Rarely do dancemakers have a chance to gather and discuss their successes and struggles. “We work in the most social of art forms, yet many of us are isolated,” says @troymacher, founder and director of @balletcollective.
The first-ever Creators in Dance Summit, which BalletCollective convened in New York City on March 29, offered choreographers “a place to be together and to talk with no performance needed, where they could just show up, be themselves, and share,” Schumacher says. He assembled an advisory board for the project that includes @kyle_abraham_original_recipe, Robert Battle, @camilleabrown, Ohad Naharin, @alexeiratmansky, @bandofoutsiders25, and @wheeldony.
There were no funders or press allowed—just 75 professional choreographers who were invited or applied to attend, representing diverse dance forms including African diasporic, ballet, commercial theater, contemporary, hip hop, and modern.

Every ballet begins with an idea.
For BalletCollective’s 15th anniversary season, Opposites Attract, three distinct starting points became three world premieres.
Hear from the artists about the initial concepts that sparked each work and how those ideas developed through the collaborative process.
Three ballets. Three different approaches. One shared creative process.
Watch the final livestream of Opposites Attract at balletcollective.com/live through November 22nd for free.

Meet Keenan Kiefer, one of the eleven contemporary and ballet dancers in our Nov 3–5 NYC Fall Season premiering new ballets by @troymacher, @shaneurton, and @noellekayser.
Describe two things about you as an artist that seem to contradict each other.
“My dancing really depends on my approach. Some of what I do requires me to be really controlled and to really push myself, and other things require me to let go and ease up. The success of what I do depends on either relaxing or overworking, and finding the right one is sometimes difficult.”
Has working with BalletCollective changed your understanding of or perspective about the art form of ballet? If so, how?
“I learned a lot from the other dancers at BalletCollective about the art of dance. Some of us learned to enjoy being in an artist’s mind and trying to bring their human creation to life. I was also taught the beauty of process and what it means to integrate your ideas and yourself into someone else’s work, and I learned from my fellow dancers that dance is beyond the quality of a piece or a finished product. Thomas, Mizuho, Brooke, and I had a lovely talk about dance and art. Thomas taught me that there are so many relationships and human conditions that can be conveyed through the process of the dance, not just the dance itself.”

Tonight is opening night of Opposites Attract 🎉
What happens when ballet and contemporary movement come together?
At BalletCollective, dancers from different training backgrounds share a common space to explore movement beyond the boundaries of a single form.
Hear from our collaborators as they discuss the relationship between classical technique and contemporary movement, and how that exchange shapes the creative process.
Our 15th anniversary season opens tonight at the Cathedral of Saint John the Divine.
All performances are sold out. Join the waitlist at balletcollective.com/waitlist or stream the performances November 4–22 at balletcollective.com/live.

Meet Georgia Greene, one of the eleven contemporary and ballet dancers in our Nov 3–5 NYC Fall Season premiering new ballets by @troymacher, @shaneurton, and @noellekayser.
Describe two things about you as an artist that seem to contradict each other.
“I’m both deeply disciplined and constantly curious. I love precision and tradition, while also having a strong desire to question boundaries and find freedom within them. I think those two sides of me are often in conversation, allowing me to honor what I know while staying open to where the work can take me.”
What do you want someone to feel as a BalletCollective audience member that they’d never feel at a traditional ballet?
“I want the audience to feel a sense of connection and collaboration that blurs the traditional boundaries of ballet. Seeing dancers with different training backgrounds move between classical ballet and contemporary movement creates a sense of freedom and possibility, showing that we don’t have to be defined by one form but can come together with a shared intention and purpose.”
