Repertoire
Great art makes you feel seen.
Each of Ballet 5:8's works seeks to uncover the truest parts of who we are as human beings and how we relate to one another. Whether from Artistic Director Julianna Rubio Slager or a renowned guest choreographer, each ballet cuts through the noise to deliver a soul-stirring glimpse into what it means to be human.
