Our mission is to reshape the ballet landscape by commissioning original choreography—especially by women—during the “off season” of major ballet companies. By bringing together professional dancers from across the U.S., we create bold new work, provide meaningful employment, and cultivate a thriving arts community in Southern California.<p style="font-style:normal;font-variant-caps:normal;font-weight:400;letter-spacing:normal;text-align:start;text-indent:0px;text-transform:none;white-space:normal;word-spacing:0px;-webkit-text-stroke-width:0px;text-decoration:none;margin:0px;line-height:1.5;box-sizing:inherit;max-width:100%"> <p style="font-style:normal;font-variant-caps:normal;font-weight:400;letter-spacing:normal;text-align:start;text-indent:0px;text-transform:none;white-space:normal;word-spacing:0px;-webkit-text-stroke-width:0px;text-decoration:none;margin:0px;line-height:1.5;box-sizing:inherit;max-width:100%">What makes us unique is our focus on creation. Instead of relying on the classics, Pointeworks builds every season around new voices and new collaborations.
