Experience Metropolis Ensemble’s collaboration with BalletCollective’s 2025 fall season: an evening of hidden wonders, unexpected encounters, and world premiere ballets, featuring a cast of world class ballet and contemporary dancers.

This bold program includes two highly anticipated world premieres: new works by Alysa Pires and Chloe Crenshaw inspired by contemporary visual artists linn meyers and Siyan Camille Ji and set to original scores by Nicky Sohn and 7038634357 (Neo Gibson)—alongside the revival of Troy Schumacher’s acclaimed Natural History (2020).

Don’t miss this powerful evening of genre-defying ballets that explore how even the smallest moments can echo with lasting impact.
