Bella Figura features an extraordinary collection of works by three of the world’s most exciting contemporary choreographers whose careers have overlapped in ways both influential and noteworthy.

The program begins with William Forsythe’s The Second Detail, a company and U.S. premiere, which is an electrifying combination of classicism and jazz for an ensemble. Forsythe, one of the preeminent American dancers and choreographers, has created ground-breaking, exhilarating works which have been performed by the world’s finest ballet companies.
