On Wednesday, Jan. 18, the four male choreographers for Kansas City Ballet’s upcoming New Moves program (Feb. 16-19) participated in a panel discussion moderated by KCB Artistic Director Devon Carney at the ballet’s home, the Todd Bolender Center for Dance & Creativity. The choreographers, Yury Yanowsky, Michael Davis, Gustavo Ribeiro, and James Kirby Rogers, are all creating world premiere works on the company. With the exception of Yury, all panelists are current KCB dancers. This discussion was an opportunity for the community to learn more about the choreographic process and to ask questions of these rising talents.
Male New Moves Choreographers from R to L: Yury Yanowsky, Gustavo Ribeiro, Moderator/KCB Artistic Director Devon Carney, Michael Davis, and James Kirby Rogers.
