Open Rehearsal:
Keerati Jinakunwiphat’s brand- New ballet
Join Pointeworks for an in-studio open rehearsal of a new work by decorated emerging choreographic voice Keerati Jinakunwiphat. After just one week in the studio, experience the early stages of her ballet in creation and gain insight into the choreographic process.
Pay-what-you-can tickets.
Open to all ages.
Welcome to our Pointeworks creative space, where dancers and choreographers can collaborate at the highest level.
Step into the studio for this is a rare opportunity to witness the early stages of a ballet in development—where ideas are still evolving, movement is being shaped, and the creative process is fully visible.
As a choreographer, Jinakunwiphat’s work centers on community, connection, and identity, drawing from her experience as a Thai-American artist navigating multiple cultural perspectives. Her process emphasizes collaboration and exploration, asking how we relate to one another through movement.
This event offers a unique window into that process—inviting audiences to engage not just with the final product, but with the making of the work itself.
