Tulsa Ballet’s ultimate artistic goal of having its own theater located
at its headquarters will be realized in 2008. This opportunity allows the
organization to increase its season offerings from four shows to five plus
The Nutcracker and to create the ultimate special event for Tulsa Ballet
patrons.
The showcase in the new space will provide three new works each year. They will be created by a mix of internationally recognized choreographers and young, up and coming, yet already prominent, choreographers. It will allow the audience to experience the company in a close and intimate way as the dancers will be just a few feet away.
The premiere of premieres in the new Studio K, The Kivisto Performance Hall, will feature three world premiere Tango pieces. Its purpose is to create a better understanding of and help the audience know more About Tango.
