nocturnes - in studio

Nocturnes in the Studio welcomed guests into New York City Center’s Studio 5 for an intimate open rehearsal and conversation during Pointeworks’ January NYC Creative Residency. Audiences experienced an open rehearsal of a new 15-minute ballet by choreographer Jacquelyn Long, set to an original score by composer Katie Jenkins, followed by an open dialogue with the artists. The rehearsal was led by collaborator Fabrice Herrault, and executed by dancers Sophie Williams, Rieko Hatato, Kyle Torres-Hiyoshi, AvaRose Dillon, Madeline Bez, and Heather Nichols. This behind-the-scenes gathering offered a rare opportunity to witness new work at the threshold of completion and engage directly with the creative voices shaping Pointeworks’ upcoming season.

By sharing the work in process—alongside live coaching, musical refinement, and open conversation—this event highlighted the art of collaboration at the heart of Pointeworks’ model and the rarity of inviting audiences into the studio while creation is actively unfolding.
