SEASONS
Azara Ballet's Season Finale at Riverview PAC 3/20 & 3/21
NOTE: At Azara Ballet our mission includes rewriting ballet culture through body positivity, neurodivergent inclusion, and LGBTQ representation on stage.
🏳️🌈 SEASONS IS PROUDLY AN LGBTQ+ INCLUSIVE PERFORMANCE🏳️🌈
Our 25/26 finale Seasons features two world premieres:
The premiere of Artistic Director Joshua Stayton’s new work, Four Seasons, is a reflection on his personal experiences and life’s challenges, mirrored through the ever-changing seasons of nature.
And a deeply personal new work, The Woman in White, loosely inspired by the life of Emily Dickinson and choreographed through a modern lens. In this piece, Martin Flowers explores autism, “otherness,” and queer identity through the powerful language of dance.
