A Collaboration with the Westerly Museum of American Impressionism
In a unique partnership between dance and visual art, three world-premiere choreographies come to life, each inspired by works from the Westerly Museum’s collection of American Impressionism. Through movement, color, and emotion, these new ballets translate brushstrokes into bodies — bringing paintings off the wall and onto the stage in a celebration of light, landscape, and artistic expression.
Choreographers: Yury Yanowsky, John Lam, Emily Mistretta

Striking contrast and kinetic beauty, Pure Dance celebrates the power, precision, and poetry of the moving body.

Three choreographers. Three unique voices. One unforgettable journey through movement.

University of Rhode Island, J Studio May 14-17
In a world that demands silence, she moves.
Sophie Treadwell’s searing 1928 play, a landmark of American expressionism, is reborn in this striking new ballet. Machinal tells the story of a woman caught in the cold machinery of modern life: her body controlled, her voice ignored, her choices not her own. Through stylized choreography and haunting rhythms, this adaptation strips away dialogue to reveal the raw, physical truth of one woman’s rebellion. Stark, visceral, and fiercely contemporary, Machinal is a portrait of alienation — and a dance of defiance.
In collaboration with University of Rhode Island and co-adapter Rachel Walshe, Yury Yanowsky breathes new life into this theatrical masterwork.
