POINTEWORKS

SEASON 2 RECAP

Pointeworks completed its powerful second season with performances in La Jolla and Irvine, illuminating Southern California stages and championing female voices in ballet.

Following our sold-out debut in 2023, we returned to La Jolla’s Conrad Prebys Performing Arts Center, welcoming an audience of 407. We then made our Irvine debut to a full house of 503 attendees, including over 100 complimentary tickets offered to students, veterans, and first responders—part of our ongoing mission to increase access to ballet and engage new audiences. Both evenings were met with enthusiastic crowds and standing ovations, affirming the growing impact of our work in the region.

Over the course of five weeks, Pointeworks brought together dancers from eight professional companies across the U.S., uniting national-level talent in San Diego to create something truly special. We employed 14 dancers, 2 musicians, 2 composers, and 4 female costume designers; commissioned two new works by female choreographers; and welcomed Sofiane Sylve as guest rehearsal director.

Season 2 was a celebration of artistic excellence, creative risk, and collaboration. Thank you to everyone who joined us and helped make it possible. We can’t wait to share what’s next.

At Pointeworks, our core values of passion, creativity, and unwavering dedication to the art form propel us forward. We are committed to amplifying diverse voices within dance, with a strong focus on empowering female choreographers. Recognizing the inherently seasonal nature of a dancer's work, our mission is to fill a vital gap in the arts community by providing rare, off-season opportunities that keep artists engaged year-round.

We foster dynamic collaborations between dancers, choreographers, and musicians, both on and off stage, ensuring that creativity thrives at every level. By connecting artists from all backgrounds, we ensure balanced representation in the classical and contemporary works we bring to life.
