2025-2026 Season; Program One – Intrinsic

BrandStory

Described by Michel Fokine as “the personification of a poetic vision,” the Season opens with Dame Alicia Markova’s production of Les Sylphides, a Romantic ballet that emphasizes music and movement over plot. Chopin’s score echoes through a moonlit forest as ethereal sylphs dance around a young male poet, a role originally created for Vaslav Nijinsky. This production honors the 100th anniversary of Markova joining The Ballets Russes. Continuing the Program is a World Premiere by Jessica Lang, part of the Jacob’s Pillow 2025 tour. The Program concludes with Will Tuckett’s Changing Light, inspired by Sarasota’s sunsets, whose fluid movements, lighting, and costumes have received standing ovations, making it a perfect finale to ignite excitement for the Season.
