Enjoy a fast-paced evening of new contemporary ballet. Often described by the dancers as their favorite program of the season, Fast Forward provides the opportunity for emerging choreographers, both local and from around the country, to experiment. The chance to dance work that has been created specifically for them, rather than perhaps for dancers who performed hundreds of years ago, allows New Ballet’s Company Dancers to grow as artists and to be part of the creative process. Audiences will be thrilled and inspired watching choreographic and dance artists take risks and create.
Beware of ticket resellers. Be sure to purchase tickets directly from a link on our website or from one of our theatres: California Theatre/San Jose Theatres or the Hammer Theatre Center.
