We’ve got a blazing Season IX kicking off in December! Some big, big shows with some big, big ideas are coming your way including a show that combines choreography with a live performance of Steve Reich’s “Different Trains” as well as a Versipel commissioned piece by local composer James May that combines NOLA free improvisers with members of the Versipel Collective.

* February, 2023 @TBA: Different Trains: The Versipel Collective and guests perform Reich’s iconic string quartet with new choreography. Also featuring a world premiere electronic work by Mendel Lee with dance!
