One of our most-popular, sell-out performance series, Innovative: Direct from the LAB will welcome audiences back to Charlotte Ballet’s home at the Center for Dance this winter. All choreography will be created in-house as an extension of the Choreographic Lab series that Artistic Director Hope Muir introduced during her first season with the company. Additionally, in a unique twist, the Charlotte community had a hand in selecting two of the presenting choreographers—Audrey Baran and Bianca Bonner—through a public vote in December. With narrative themes centered around personal stories from within the Charlotte community, this will truly be an innovative performance series like no other!
