Signature Series

May 11-14, 2023 | Lorton Performance Center

We close our season with Signature Series, an always unforgettable evening made up of three works by three superstar choreographers, sure to please everyone. Emmy winning and Olivier-nominated choreographer Jennifer Weber, also known for her choreography of Disney’s Zombie 2, returns with our first ever hip-hop ballet, While You Were Gone. Originally created on Tulsa Ballet for The Celebration in May of 2021, While You Were Gone broke the boundaries of what a typical ballet encompasses, creating a brand-new type of dance. This program will also feature a World Premieres by choreographer Katarzyna Kozielska PLUS the return of Alexander Ekman’s hilariously entertaining Cacti, a piece that features 16 dancers creating rhythms together that will have you laughing out loud.
