Step into the studio for an intimate first look at Echoes Between Us, a powerful new work by dancemaker Miaotian Sun, commissioned through our NEXT: Emerging Choreographer Program, ahead of its 2026 world premiere.
Echoes Between Us blends ballet, contemporary dance, and Chinese folklore to create a powerful and provocative narrative about identity, culture and preserving tradition that resonates deeply through our collective experience, and is especially relevant today.
It centers around Sanxingdui, a mysterious, abandoned Bronze age archaeological site located in modern Sichuan, China – recently discovered to hold unique artifacts suggesting a distinct civilization and worldview.
Attendees also will have the opportunity to participate in a Q&A with Miaotian, delving deeper into the themes of her work.
In addition to Echoes Between Us, the program will feature a lyrical duet from the ballet, So Proudly We Hail, by acclaimed Cuban choreographer Pedro Ruíz, along with other signature works by the company.
