The National Choreographers Initiative was developed to encourage and support the development of ballet choreography.

NCI has a national impact as we collaborate with choreographers and dancers from around the country. The works developed are premiered and performed by organizations nationally and internationally. NCI develops and produces dance in support of the national dance community by inviting four choreographers and sixteen professional dancers to participate in this project. NCI provides an opportunity for the southern California community to be a part of the process of creating new contemporary ballets and seeing these works performed for the very first time.

Showing on July 26th at 8pm, Irvine Barclay Theatre, box office (949)854-4646 or www.thebarclay.org
