ALLY UP!! will be the second iteration of our inaugural ALLY UP! ballet tailgater from the summer of 2022.

Charlotte premiered a new work on her students at Cornish College of the Arts in Seattle. /
Charlotte premiered a new work last weekend at Cornish Playhouse in downtown Seattle.
The work was choreographed in collaboration with her students at Cornish College of the Arts.
Lines Drawn was conceived as if a ritual for an imagined community to move through daily, to repeatedly define their world over and over as if movement created the world, and vice versa.

Residency in Richmond, Virginia. /
Charlotte was in Virginia a couple of weeks ago creating a new work on the dynamic dancers in the Department of Theatre and Dance at the University of Richmond. Last time that we were there as a company was in 2019 when we created the evening length production “Cross Currents” at the American Civil War Museum! We so appreciate the relationship that we have developed with the Department, it is exciting to watch it evolve in new and interesting ways.
