Campus Partnerships THIS EVENT HAS ALREADY OCCURED IN A PREVIOUS SEASON! Columbia Ballet Collaborative (CBC) proudly presents an engaging program of contemporary ballet works in its return to Miller Theatre. CBC, founded in 2007 by five professional ballet dancers enrolled at Columbia, is comprised of students from all four of the University's undergraduate colleges. Featured in The New York Times, Dance Magazine, Vanity Fair and TimeOut New York, CBC provides a platform for the collaboration between professionals in the New York dance community and students of Columbia University. This unique organization is student-run and directed and includes members who have danced professionally with Boston Ballet, Miami City Ballet, Pennsylvania Ballet, Washington Ballet, The Suzanne Farrell Ballet, and Complexions Contemporary Ballet. This season’s highlights include a performance by New York City Ballet (NYCB) principal dancer and Barnard student Teresa Reichlen in a premiere by Justin Peck, fellow member of NYCB and Columbia student. CBC’s resident choreographer Emery LeCrone, who has choreographed for North Carolina Dance Theatre and Oregon Ballet Theatre, will premiere a new work this season. The program will also feature a new work by former NYCB principal, Monique Meunier, including an appearance by NYCB soloist Craig Hall. Regarding CBC’s focus on fostering new works, The New York Times has said, "New choreographic voices are rare in ballet, and the collaborative’s contribution in this respect has been vast already."

This concert is part of Miller Theatre's Columbia Performers Partnership, which supports CU student performing arts groups by providing performance space, production assistance, and marketing services. The partnership promotes young artist development, fosters interdepartmental collaboration, and shares Columbia University's artistic talents with a broader audience. CBC is sponsored in part by the Arts Initiative at Columbia University with funding made possible through a generous gift from the Gatsby Charitable Foundation. CBC is a recognized student group at Columbia University and is advised in part through the Office of Student Development & Activities. |
