State Street Ballet hosted its annual Evenings event at the Gail Towbes Center for Dance giving the company’s talented dancers the opportunity to create their own dance works and experiment with new movement, themes, music, and styles.

This year’s event featured eight short world premieres performed in the rehearsal space followed by a question and answer session with the choreographers, including Tanner Blee, Anna Carnes, Jimmy Folsom, Courtney Hanaway, Arianna Hartanov, John Piel, Cecily Stewart, and Nickolas Topete.

A fun behind the scenes peek at works in progress. Balletomanes including Martin Gore and wife Kerrilee, Ron and Jill Dexter, Andre Yew, and Robert and Patti Reid.
