Dance Dialogue: Women Shaping the Future of Ballet | Pointeworks (NYC 2026)
Dance Dialogue is a live conversation presented by Pointeworks, bringing together leading women in ballet to speak candidly about artistic creation, leadership, and the evolving future of the field. Recorded in January 2026 at New York City Center, this panel features artists working at the highest professional level across choreography, performance, composition, and direction. Together, they reflect on authorship, collaboration, and what it means to build sustainable, artist-centered careers in today’s ballet landscape. Rather than focusing solely on finished performances, Dance Dialogue centers the process: how new work is made, how artists navigate institutions, and how women are actively reshaping ballet from within. The discussion touches on commissioning practices, mentorship, representation, and the importance of creating space for new voices and perspectives. This event is part of Pointeworks’ ongoing commitment to championing women-led creation and fostering open, accessible conversations around artistry and equity in ballet. By sharing this dialogue publicly, Pointeworks invites audiences into the studio and the thinking behind the work—highlighting the voices that so often shape the art form behind the scenes.
