BalletCollective: Echoes of the Unseen
BalletCollective’s 2025 Commission for Developing Choreographers
October 28—31, 2025
Cathedral of St. John the Divine
1047 Amsterdam Avenue NYC
This October, step inside the world’s largest Cathedral to witness 20 extraordinary dancers and musicians perform on a diamond-shaped stage, just feet away.
Presented by BalletCollective, this unforgettable program includes world premiere works by Alysa Pires and Chloe Crenshaw and a revival by Troy Schumacher, performed by a powerhouse cast from New York City Ballet, Dancing with the Stars, and beyond, with live music by the GRAMMY-nominated Metropolis Ensemble.
Each ballet in the program was built from scratch by boundary-pushing choreographers, composers, writers, and visual artists via the acclaimed signature BalletCollective Process.
