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.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. We believe that ballet should reflect the world we live in today—diverse, innovative, and full of possibility.Why Your Donation MattersYour support empowers artists, brings world-class talent to San Diego, and helps create new ballets and original music that live beyond a single performance.By sponsoring a ballet, choreographer, composer, or artistic initiative, you directly invest in the creation of new work while providing meaningful employment opportunities for professional dancers, musicians, and creative collaborators.Pointeworks is committed to building a sustainable future for the arts—one where artists are fairly compensated, audiences are engaged in the creative process, and new works continue to reach communities long after their premiere.Sponsor Recognition & BenefitsAll sponsors receive recognition in Pointeworks donor communications and are invited to engage more deeply with the artistic process.Sponsors contributing $5,000 or more may receive:Recognition in the October 18 performance programRecognition during pre-performance remarks and audience acknowledgementsRecognition as a sponsor of a specific ballet, artist, or musical commissionInvitations to private rehearsals and studio showingsMeet-and-greets with dancers, choreographers, and composersVIP backstage access and dress rehearsal viewing opportunitiesComplimentary VIP tickets to the October 18 world premiere at the Balboa TheatreFor example:Hélène Simoneau's New WorkSponsored by [Donor Name]Original Score by Katie JenkinsSponsored by [Donor Name]Benefits may vary based on sponsorship level, artist availability, and donor preference.Partial Sponsorship OpportunitiesNot ready to underwrite an entire artistic element?
