BBBallet presents ‘The Round Table’

New York City’s Benjamin Briones Ballet (BBBallet) will present its second weekend of The Round Table, a festival featuring a collection of works by choreographers and one that hopes to offer diverse styles and artistic voices.

The performances will take place Thursday-Saturday, September 1-3, at the Gibney Dance Agnes Varis Performing Arts Center in lower Manhattan. Choreographers include Vera Huff, Ned Kinter, Maribel Michel, Ted Thomas and Francis Ortiz, Megan Philipp, Ursula Verduzco, Ana Cuellar, Cesar Ortiz and more.

Founded by BBBallet Artistic Director Benjamin Briones, The Round Table Festival “was born to share, support, promote and showcase the work of upcoming and established choreographers and dance companies who are passionate about communicating their vision through concert dance and the styles of contemporary ballet, modern and contemporary dance”, according to a recent press release.

The four performances will include two different programs, offering a chance for audiences to see many varied works. Tickets are $20 each (or $17 for seniors) and can be purchased on the Gibney Dance website.
