Each BalletCollective project takes as its source a contemporary work of art in any medium chosen or commissioned by its choreographer and composer.

From this starting point, the choreographer and composer collaborate to create a work that interprets, explores, or responds to its source.

By its nature, BalletCollective consists of a rotating group of artists and collaborators, and with each new collective there are new ideas, new challenges, and, ultimately, new forms of expression emerge.
