Fall Series 2026
Fall Series 2026 brings three contemporary ballet works to BalletX’s Suzanne Roberts Theatre. The program opens with the world premiere of Loughlan Prior’s *Speakeasy*, a vivid journey through Prohibition-era Philadelphia, where jazz, glamour, and danger collide. The work features scenic and costume design by Emma Kingsbury and an original score by Frank Moon.
The series also includes the return of Christian Denice’s *In the Wake*, a 2025 work set to an original score by Philip Daniel that considers ceremony as an act of healing, memory, and connection. Amy Hall Garner’s *Switching the Groove*, created in 2023, completes the program with infectious rhythm, playful movement, sharp musicality, and dynamic choreography celebrating the joy of dance.
