New York Theatre Ballet (NYTB) returns to Jacob’s Pillow for the first time since 2016, celebrating their 46th season now under the direction of Steven Melendez, with a compelling repertoire featuring live music. The company presents works by a wide variety of choreographers and composers, performing small classic masterpieces and new contemporary works for adults and young children alike. Their engagement at Jacob’s Pillow will be a mixed program that will include Gabrielle Lamb’s Minetta Creek (a 2023 NYTB commission of new music and dance), Antony Tudor’s Trio Con Brio (a revival of a piece premiered at Jacob’s Pillow in 1952 and later rebuilt from archival film), DNR (2023) with choreography by Steven Melendez, and additional works.
Founded in 1978, New York Theatre Ballet has featured cutting-edge programming and an ever-expanding repertory. Carrying the modern sensibilities of both established and up-and-coming choreographers, the company has brought fresh insight to classic revivals, exploring the past while boldly taking risks on the future. The company tours nationally and abroad, and has become one of the most widely seen chamber ballet companies in the United States.
