More on American Contemporary Ballet
American Contemporary Ballet, based in Los Angeles, was founded by choreographer Lincoln Jones and dancer Theresa Farrell to produce original contemporary classical ballets by Jones, and to present masterworks that exemplify dance as a musical art form. The company performs over 60 shows each season, spanning a repertory which includes works by George Balanchine, Fred Astaire, Lincoln Jones, and reconstructions of the seminal works of ballet’s history.
American Contemporary Ballet is the only ballet company in Los Angeles to perform exclusively to live music, played by some of the city’s finest classical musicians. Audiences are seated at stage level, allowing for a rare visceral connection with the beauty and athleticism of ballet. Every performance from American Contemporary Ballet is followed by a reception with the dancers and musicians, and audiences can engage further with the art form through the company’s Conversations and Dancing School programs.
