The New York Theater Ballet spent much of the last year searching for a new home after its longtime office and training space was sold and the company was asked to find new quarters. It found a new home in May when St. Mark’s Church in-the-Bowery offered its space starting in September. The company has lately been fitting the space with offices, dressing rooms, a sprung floor, mirrors, barres and a lobby, and on Monday it announced that its educational arm, Ballet School NY, would offer an expanded schedule of classes for both adults and children, starting Sept. 15. The company also announced its 2014-15 season, which as in past seasons, has it performing in several spaces around town.
This season begins with the troupe’s performances as part of the Public Theater’s musical adaptation of Shakespeare’s “The Winter’s Tale” at the Delacorte Theater in Central Park (Sept. 5-7).
The company’s own repertory concerts include a program of works choreographed by Agnes de Mille and Jerome Robbins, as well as a new work by Gemma Bond, at the 92nd Street Y (Jan. 10-12), a program with world premieres by Nicolo Fonte and Pam Tanowitz and revivals of works by Merce Cunningham and Keith Michael at New York Live Arts (Feb. 18-21), and a program at Danspace, for which the works have not yet been announced (June 17-20).
The company is also planning a tour that will take it to eight states in December. And it will present its Once Upon a Ballet series of family programs at Florence Gould Hall throughout the season.
