Brooklyn, NY — Norte Maar in collaboration with Brooklyn Ballet presents CounterPointe, the annual curated performance series featuring women choreographers making new work on pointe. Series will run three nights at The Actors Fund Arts Center (160 Schermerhorn Street, Brooklyn, NY), Fri, Apr 10 + Sat, Apr 11 at 7:30pm and Sun, Apr 12 at 4pm. General admission: $20 / students+seniors $15.
CounterPointe is dedicated to presenting the latest experimental, innovative, risk-taking choreography that shows a depth of investment in ballet by women dance makers working with the pointe shoe. Investigating new and old territory the series highlights new work, opening up discussion, and creating a forum for women, young or old, emerging or established, to take risks. The series made its inaugural presentation in Brooklyn at the Actors Fund Center in 2012. In June 2013, the series made its London premiere at the Broadway in Barking.
This program is presented in collaboration with Brooklyn Ballet and is supported, in part, by public funds from the New York City Department for Cultural Affairs in partnership with the City Council.
