This mixed repertory program showcases three works that blend energy, innovation, and intricate movement. Wayne McGregor’s Chroma fuses classical technique with modern fluidity, set to an eclectic score by Joby Talbot and The White Stripes. Christopher Wheeldon’s DGV: Danse à Grande Vitesse captures speed and power with relentless motion, set to Michael Nyman’s minimalist score. Twyla Tharp’s In The Upper Room demands raw energy and precision from dancers, paired with Philip Glass’s iconic music to create a transcendent experience.

Philadelphia Ballet gratefully acknowledges Maxine and Jay L. Goldberg, Underwriters for Dance at Great Velocity.
