#QUEERTHEBALLET

The Joyce & Chelsea Factory Present

Queer the Ballet

April 5th and 6th, 2022 at 7:30 PM EST

#QueertheBallet presents its first full evening of work featuring existing pieces and world premieres. Helmed by dancer and choreographer Adriana Pierce, #QueertheBallet is an initiative started during the pandemic which aims to broaden inclusivity and representation in classical ballet, with an emphasis on community, connection, and the power of shared experience. With a focus on queer women and non-binary dancers, #QueertheBallet explores choreographic connections often absent from ballet stages and seeks to queer ballet spaces with intention, authenticity, and pride.

Featuring performances by Cortney Taylor Key, Gabe Foley, Sierra Armstrong, Remy Young, Lenai Alexis Wilkerson, Miriam Miller, Devon Teuscher, Naomi Corti, Fleming Lomax, and more, #QueertheBallet’s inaugural season is a culmination of Adriana’s work to date and a step towards a more inclusive ballet.

Please plan to arrive no later than 30 minutes prior to your performance time to allow for vaccination checks, security screenings, and seating.
