About this Event
Step into the studio for an intimate first look at Echoes Between Us, a powerful new work by dancemaker Miaotian Sun, commissioned through our NEXT: Emerging Choreographer Program, ahead of its 2026 world premiere.
Echoes Between Us blends ballet, contemporary dance, and Chinese folklore to create a powerful and provocative narrative about identity, culture and preserving tradition that resonates deeply through our collective experience, and is especially relevant today.
It centers around Sanxingdui, a mysterious, abandoned Bronze age archaeological site located in modern Sichuan, China – recently discovered to hold unique artifacts suggesting a distinct civilization and worldview.
Attendees also will have the opportunity to participate in a Q&A with Miaotian, delving deeper into the themes of her work.
In addition to Echoes Between Us , the program will feature a lyrical contemporary ballet duet, So Proudly, by acclaimed Cuban choreographer Pedro Ruíz, along with other signature works by the company.
"“My piece highlights transformation, memory, and cultural imagination. It’s less about trying to ‘recreate‘ history, but more about listening to the echo between that history and ourselves.” - Miaotian Sun
