To launch the 2015 – 2016 Season, Cincinnati Ballet teamed up with photographer Aaron M. Conway to capture the movement and emotion of each performance.

This season Director’s Choice is championing female leadership in the ballet community. As Balanchine himself once said “ballet is woman,” yet the art form has only a handful of females in Artistic roles.

Victoria Morgan, Artistic Director & CEO of Cincinnati Ballet, chose Senior Soloist Courtney Connor Jones, Soloist Sirui Liu and Soloist Maizyalet Velázquez to embody the audacious confidence of women in the arts. Instead of focusing on a specific piece for the shoot, Victoria opted to represent how Director’s Choice more broadly celebrates women.
