IN COGNITO

Making its world premiere during Charlotte Ballet’s Spring Works performance series in the 2018/2019 Season, IN Cognito was hailed by critics as “comical, technical and fascinating.” The inimitable Helen Pickett’s choreography was inspired by the writing of North Carolina native Tom Robbins, and she describes the work as exploring themes of “both wanting to be seen and not wanting to be seen.”

Some of Charlotte Ballet’s dearest friends have created THE RESILIENCE FUND—a new $1 million campaign to help cover our losses during this time of crisis. Learn more and help sustain our artists and organization.
