Future Icons

Future Icons gives audiences a chance to see ballet's future unfold in real time. BalletMet has selected three choreographers through an international competition to travel to Columbus and create brand-new works performed by the company's talented dancers. This is a special evening dedicated to nurturing fresh creative voices and bringing innovative ideas to the stage. What makes this event unique is that you'll experience world premiere ballets—pieces audiences are seeing for the very first time. These works promise to be thought-provoking and current, offering a glimpse into where ballet is heading as an art form. If your family enjoys dance or is curious about contemporary ballet, this is a chance to witness something truly original and unfiltered.
