Ballet 5:8’s tenth performance season is an exciting step back into normalcy as theaters across the country reopen and invite audiences to enjoy live art again. For the past ten years, Ballet 5:8 has created over 45 original works with a mission to engage communities in stories of life and faith through dance. For the fifth year in a row, an Illinois Arts Council Agency grant is helping the company continue their mission.

Ballet 5:8’s Ninth performance season is not looking anything like the company had originally planned 10 months ago, but an Illinois Arts Council Agency grant is helping the company press forward, even into uncharted territory.
