New York Theatre Ballet

New York Theatre Ballet Dedicated to performing works by legendary masters and emerging visionaries since 1978.

“An invaluable company…”
- A. Macaulay (NYT 2010)
(441)

“New York Theatre ballet confirms its status as an invaluable company,” says Alastair Macaulay of the New York Times. (April 2010)

Founded by Diana Byer in 1978, NYTB performs traditional works by choreographers such as Ashton, Tudor and Robbins; is sought after by the heirs of Moderns such as Limón and Cunningham to correctly recreate their original works; and commissions significant, emerging choreographers such as Alston, Bond, Tanowitz, Pelle and more. NYTB has self-produced at venues including Florence Gould Hall, Danspace Project, and New York Live Arts; and appeared at Carnegie Hall, NYC Center, Brookfield Place, 92Y and Schimmel Center. Touring venues have included Jacob’s Pillow, Kaatsbaan, Kirkland Performing Arts Center, WA, Johnny Carson Theatre, NE, Dixie Carter Theatre, TN and Colonial Theatre, NH. NYTB has earned national acclaim for its restoration and revival of small masterworks by great choreographers and for its innovative hour-long ballets based on children’s literature. Audiences know the Company for its theatrical expressiveness, high production quality, and intimate accessibility to every audience member.

As we are about to start our season with a return to Jacobs Pillow I would like to pay tribute to Margaret Craske, famous as a dancer and a teacher...(please see bio) and collaborator guiding the careers of many and changing all. I was fortunate to have her as my ballet teacher from age 8-18. "Sometimes we have to do things we dont want to do. Lift up. Up from the waste. Just dance it. The steps you should know so you can dance what's in them."

🎟️ Coming Up // From the archives, back to the stage. ✨

For decades, Trio Con Brio was believed to be lost.
Through years of archival research, reconstruction, and Labanotation, the ballet was brought back to life by Diana Byer, Founder & Artistic Director Emerita of New York Theatre Ballet.

This summer, that legacy returns to Jacob’s Pillow, where the ballet first premiered in 1952—bringing a remarkable chapter of dance history back to the stage.

Join us August 21 as New York Theatre Ballet performs Trio Con Brio at Jacob’s Pillow.
