DURING THE 2023-2024 SEASON, BALLET RI PRODUCED A FULL SEASON OF PERFORMANCES AT FOUR VENUES: THE VETS, WOODMAN CENTER, THE UNITED THEATRE IN WESTERLY, AND ITS OWN BLACK BOX THEATER. THE PERFORMANCES MARKED THE COMPANY'S EXPANSION TO A FULL SEASON OF PROGRAMMING MATCHING THE SIZE AND SCOPE OF PRE-COVID SEASONS. PROGRAMMING RANGED FROM MIXED REPERTORY SHOWS LIKE "DEATH AND THE MAIDEN", "UP CLOSE ON HOPE", AND "OFF THE CHARTS", WHICH FEATURED A RANGE OF CLASSICAL, NEOCLASSICAL AND CONTEMPORARY WORKS, TO TRADITIONAL OFFERINGS LIKE THE NUTCRACKER AND CINDERELLA. THE FORMER RETURNING TO CRITICAL ACCLAIM AND INCREASED NUMBER OF PERFORMANCES FEATURING OVER 100 PERFORMERS AFTER ITS PREMIERE IN 2021, AND THE LATTER PRESENTING THE FIRST MAINSTAGE, FULL LENGTH PRODUCTION SINCE 2019. THE COMPLETELY REIMAGINED FAIRYTALE WITH THRILLING NEW CHOREOGRAPHY AND STAGING BY ARTISTIC CURATOR YURY YANOWSKY BROUGHT THE COMPANY BACK TO THE VETS FOR A TRIUMPHANT END TO THE FIRST SEASON AS BALLET RI. THE COMPANY WAS COMPRISED OF 17 COMPANY DANCERS, 14 APPRENTICES, 12 TRAINEES, AND FOUR ARTISTIC STAFF WHO COLLABORATIVELY REHEARSE AND PERFORM SEPTEMBER THROUGH MAY. BALLET RI CONTINUED TO EXPAND IN SCOPE AND REACH, CONNECTING WITH GREATER AUDIENCES THROUGHOUT THE STATE OF RHODE ISLAND AND BEYOND.
