Contemporary Ballet Takes Shape Live In The Rosin Box Project's 'Incubator Lab'

The performances will offer audiences a behind-the-scenes look at choreography in development.

SAN DIEGO, CA — The Rosin Box Project will present "Incubator Lab: The Making, Magnified," a contemporary ballet program offering audiences a behind-the-scenes look at choreography in development.

The program is the latest of the San Diego-based company's 2026 season, "Parallax: When Perspective Becomes Movement." It will feature three new contemporary ballet works in development by choreographers Bethany Green, Natasha Rader and Alexandra Schooling, with dancers actively shaping and revising choreography in real time on stage.

"At the core of what we do is creating new work, and majority of the artists' time is spent in the creation process," Artistic Director Carly Topazio said in a statement. "Incubator Lab pulls back the curtain on that process and invites audiences into the room while it's happening, not just after it's complete."
