New Works Showcase was an opportunity to work with PBT company dancers as the choreographers for seven inventive act-length world-premiere works. Seven PBT dancers choreographed unique Act-Length works on their fellow company members. Pieces dealt with ideas such as the embodiment of the literate ‘I’, Love and Jealousy, Fun, and the ways that light can inspire movement as well as reveal it.
