Overview

Following his acclaimed Winter 2024 ballet Solitude, NYCB Artist in Residence Alexei Ratmansky choreographs his eighth ballet for the Company, set to music by Léon Minkus.

The epic Everywhere We Go features 25 dancers in a nine-part exploration of Sufjan Stevens' cinematic score, the indie-pop icon's first NYCB commission, with each section accented by a multi-layered and shifting geometric backdrop.

Featuring a commissioned score by American singer-songwriter Sufjan Stevens and a cast of 25 dancers, Everywhere We Go was NYCB Resident Choreographer and Artistic Advisor Justin Peck’s sixth ballet for the Company. It was also Peck’s second collaboration with Stevens, following 2012’s Year of the Rabbit; the nine-movement score was Stevens’ first commission from the Company. With costumes by former NYCB Principal Dancer Janie Taylor, sets by Brooklyn-based artist and architect Karl Jensen, and lighting by Peck’s frequent collaborator Brandon Stirling Baker, Everywhere We Go premiered at NYCB’s 2014 Spring Gala.

Dig the Say is a sharp, energetic duet choreographed by Justin Peck for New York City Ballet, set to vibrant, jazz-infused music by Vijay Iyer. The ballet captures the pulse of modern life — athletic, playful, and full of rhythm — as two dancers challenge and inspire each other in movement. What begins as a lighthearted game quickly evolves into a powerful dialogue of motion, blending competition with connection. With its sleek design and electric choreography, Dig the Say celebrates the vitality of contemporary dance and the joy of artistic exchange.

Signs is a contemporary ballet choreographed by Gianna Reisen, set to the hypnotic and rhythmic music of Philip Glass. Originally created for the School of American Ballet’s workshop performances, it was later added to New York City Ballet’s official repertory, where it has captivated audiences with its fluid movement and ensemble energy.

Signs stands out for its elegant simplicity and modern sensibility. It highlights the strength of contemporary ballet, balancing athleticism and artistry, and offering a fresh perspective on how dancers can communicate both individually and as a group. Audiences are drawn into its rhythmic patterns, subtle gestures, and the sense of unity that builds throughout the piece.

Synopsis

“Dig the Say” has a loose narrative of contest and connection: two dancers face off in a stylised game of skill, volleying a red ball and answering each other’s challenges in movement. The ball becomes a shared token of competition and interplay—Mejía starts by hurling it, Peck responds, and their solos reflect both rivalry and partnership. Rather than a story with characters and conflict, the ballet uses this framing to fuel its choreographic invention. Ultimately, the two merge their individual displays of mastery into a dynamic duet, leaving the playful contest behind as they dance together.

The ballet features ten dancers whose movements flow between solos, duets, and group formations. It explores the relationship between individuality and togetherness, showing how separate voices and bodies can create a harmonious, collective expression. The choreography emphasizes graceful, continuous motion, while minimalist costumes and stage design keep the focus on the dancers’ interactions and the musical pulse of Glass’s score.

Venue Info

New York City Ballet (David H. Koch Theater) - New York
Location   20 Lincoln Center Plaza

The David H. Koch Theater is the major theater for ballet, modern, and other forms of dance, part of the Lincoln Center, at the intersection of Columbus Avenue and 63rd Street in the Lincoln Square neighborhood of Manhattan in New York City. Originally named the New York State Theater, the venue has been home to the New York City Ballet since its opening in 1964, the secondary venue for the American Ballet Theatre in the fall, and served as home to the New York City Opera from 1964 to 2011.

The New York State Theater was built with funds from the State of New York as part of New York State's cultural participation in the 1964–1965 World's Fair. The theater was designed by architects Philip Johnson and John Burgee, and opened on April 23, 1964. After the Fair, the State transferred ownership of the theater to the City of New York.

Along with the opera and ballet companies, another early tenant of the theater was the now defunct Music Theater of Lincoln Center whose president was composer Richard Rodgers. In the mid-1960s, the company produced fully staged revivals of classic Broadway musicals. These included The King and I; Carousel (with original star, John Raitt); Annie Get Your Gun (revised in 1966 by Irving Berlin for its original star, Ethel Merman); Show Boat; and South Pacific.

The theater seats 2,586 and features broad seating on the orchestra level, four main “Rings” (balconies), and a small Fifth Ring, faced with jewel-like lights and a large spherical chandelier in the center of the gold latticed ceiling.

The lobby areas of the theater feature many works of modern art, including pieces by Jasper Johns, Lee Bontecou, and Reuben Nakian.
