PNB's own Associate Artistic Director Kiyon Ross is featured in The New York Times!

Ross is premiering a new work, "Proof of Light," at The School of American Ballet's Workshop Performance on June 6th and 8th. He is the first black choreographer to do so. Gia Kourlas shares, "The students feel the joy, and they love his joy, especially as he looks, just as [Peter] Boal and [Twyla] Tharp did, for the light in each of them."

Read the full article below!

With “Proof of Life,” Kiyon Ross wants to make his alma mater, the School of American Ballet, proud — and the dancers feel special. That’s what he would have wanted.

There's nothing quite like Ghost Variations. Shadows come to life, while PNB's skilled Company Pianists Christina Siemens and Josh Archibald-Seiffer shine on stage next to the dancers. It's a deeply personal work that makes you want to watch it again right as it ends.

Don't take our word for it; Rich Smith says, "I would have stood up and shouted 'RUN IT BACK' if I weren’t fighting a tear."

See it at PNB's ALL LANG program, which closes on June 7 >> https://bit.ly/All-Lang
