Kaleidoscope is an ever-evolving mosaic of dance and emotion. As we bring our focus to the stage, the world shifts and expands before our eyes. Each work acts as a unique shard of glass that is vibrant, distinct, and beautiful on its own and then comes together with the others to form a beautifully intricate masterpiece.

Opening our 45th Season, Kaleidoscope features world premiere works by internationally renowned choreographer, Katarzyna Skarpetowska, former NCB dancer, Lauren Difede, and Artistic & Executive Director, Danielle Genest. NCB’s Rehearsal Director, Emily Baker’s powerful piece Shattered Glass will round out this fascinating program by a phenomenal group of female choreographers.
