“We will introduce you to world premiere works by female choreographers, including a new ballet I am working on – Dancing to Oz. The orientation of bringing women forward and encouraging confidence to lean into leadership has been a priority for me. I chose to focus on the themes of self-exploration and confidence to be particularly encouraging to women and young girls, who like the main character, Dottie, often do not like the image they face every day in the mirror.” – Étoile founding member Victoria Morgan, Artistic Director of Cincinnati Ballet
BRAVA! Étoile funds help Cincinnati Ballet to continue to be dedicated leaders in programming and promoting female choreographers like Jennifer Archibald, Pamela Robinson-Harris, Peggy Dolkas, Mia Michaels, and Victoria Morgan.
