Pointeworks ARTISTS: Summer 2026

 

This June, Pointeworks returns to La Jolla with an extraordinary roster of 15 dancers, 5 choreographers, internationally acclaimed musicians and composers, and collaborative artists from some of the world’s leading ballet and music institutions — including artists from New York City, National Ballet of Canada, The Juilliard School, The Metropolitan Opera, Houston Ballet, Philadelphia Ballet, BalletMet, Atlanta Ballet, Los Angeles Ballet, Texas Ballet Theater, Ballet Arizona, and Ballet RI.

From new commissions and contemporary premieres to live music and returning repertory, Nocturnes: Five Ballets celebrates the power of collaboration, individuality, and artistic risk-taking.

We are thrilled to welcome these artists to the Summer 2026 season at The Conrad Prebys Performing Arts Center.

Join us even earlier at our Season Opener, Pointeworks III: Past, Present, Future, on May 29 at Museum of Contemporary Art San Diego, where audiences will have the opportunity to meet many of the artists behind this season’s work.

At the core of Pointeworks are the artists —
dancers from across the country who come together to create, collaborate, and bring new works to life.

In 2026, this work is made possible through the extraordinary leadership of Principal Patron of 2026 Dancer Compensation Elizabeth Fowler, whose support helps ensure our dancers are compensated at a professional level for their time in the studio and onstage. Her commitment is a vital investment in the sustainability and future of these artists.


 

There are still many meaningful ways to support the Summer 2026 season, including underwriting artistic elements, musicians, costumes, rehearsals, and new creations. To learn more, simply reply to this email or contact Artistic Director Sophie Williams directly at swilliams@pointeworks.org.
