Mujeres:
Women in Motion,&nbsp;an
evening spotlighting contemporary choreographic voices reimagining
movement, perspective, and representation onstage, offers four works
by women who approach dance as a way of thinking about the present.
This second all-female season foregrounds artists who expand how
stories are told through dance.



The
evening includes two world premieres: a vibrant new work
entitled&nbsp;Trança
(Braid)&nbsp;by
Brazil’s&nbsp;Cassi
Abranches,&nbsp;a
contemporary take on Brazilian dance, capturing the restless energy
of daily life, and&nbsp;Reactor
Antígona (Reacting to Antigone),&nbsp;a
re-envisioning of&nbsp;Antigone&nbsp;by
Cuban choreographer&nbsp;Marianela
Boán,acclaimed for her
genre-defying Contaminated Dance, that reimagines the Greek myth as a
living question on female sacrifice, the passage between worlds, and
the self-imposed structures under which we live.

Línea
Recta&nbsp;by&nbsp;Annabelle
Lopez Ochoa&nbsp;explores
what happens when individuality begins to move collectively through
flamenco dance.&nbsp;Stephanie
Martinez’s Otra
Vez, Otra Vez, Otra Vez&nbsp;offers
a richly textured reflection on the cyclical patterns of life
inspired by Picasso’s&nbsp;Old
Guitarist.

Opening
night is the&nbsp;Ballet
Hispánico 2026 Gala.&nbsp;For
