Featuring Bathers, City of Women, and a world premiere in collaboration with the Holocaust Education Center.
Ballet RI returns to the luminous world of American Impressionism with Yury Yanowsky’s Bathers, where fleeting moments are suspended in movement like brushstrokes on canvas. The evening continues with the company premiere of City of Women by James Whiteside, a bold and neoclassical exploration of femininity, identity, and power. Rounding out the program is a powerful world premiere inspired by the story of Lillian Birch created in collaboration with the Sandra Bornstein Holocaust Education Center. This moving new work asks what it means to remember, and how the body can carry history forward across generations.
Choreographers: Yury Yanowsky, James Whiteside

An Evening of Iconic Sound and Dance
A fan favorite returns! Trey McIntyre’s A Day in the Life transforms the Beatles’ iconic catalog into a full-spectrum dance experience, moving from tender intimacy to electrifying joy. “…absolutely infectious…” raves Dance Informa. The Beatles like you’ve never experienced them before, brought vividly to life through McIntyre’s signature choreographic voice. The program also features Same by Yury Yanowsky, set to the music of Boston based singer-songwriter Josh Knowles and performed live, offering an intimate and contemporary counterpoint to the evening.
