The New York Public Library for the Performing Arts at Lincoln Center is presenting a new exhibition titled “The Joffrey + Ballet in the U.S.”. This exhibition, running from September 19, 2024 to March 1, 2025, celebrates the influential role of The Joffrey Ballet in American dance. It features a wide array of materials, including costumes, photographs, and archival footage, showcasing the company’s innovative contributions to ballet and its impact on the cultural landscape of the United States.
The exhibition not only highlights the artistic achievements of The Joffrey Ballet but also delves into its history and evolution. Visitors will have the opportunity to explore the company’s pioneering efforts in integrating contemporary and classical ballet, as well as its commitment to diversity and inclusion in the arts. Through this comprehensive display, the exhibition aims to provide a deeper understanding of The Joffrey Ballet’s legacy and its ongoing influence in the world of dance.
