- History | Los Angeles Ballet
Los Angeles Ballet debuted in December 2006 with its original production of The Nutcracker, choreographed by founding Co-Artistic Directors Thordal Christensen and Colleen Neary. LAB offers a stellar classical and contemporary repertory. In 2009 the Los Angeles Ballet Guild, LAB’s free outreach program, was established to share the gift of dance with a wide audience, including underserved communities. History Home / History / LAB History Los Angeles Ballet debuted in December 2006 with its original production of The Nutcracker . Choreographed by Founding Co-Artistic Directors Thordal Christensen and Colleen Neary, it featured a fresh take on the classic, complemented by a Southern California-themed set designed by Catherine Kanner. LAB’s repertoire was then focused on Balanchine masterpieces and Bournonville ballets as imparted by Christensen and Neary, Artistic Directors Emeriti. As a répétiteur for The George Balanchine Trust, Ms. Neary, staged and directed LAB’s interpretations of his masterworks. In 2009 LAB presented Bournonville’s La Sylphide , its first full-length classical story ballet after The Nutcracker . Under the artistic direction of Christensen and Neary, LAB also performed classical ballet standards such as Giselle , Swan Lake , Don Quixote , Romeo and Juliet , and The Sleeping Beauty , and commissioned 15 new works, two developed out of LAB’s Choreographic Workshop. In 2022, LAB welcomed Melissa Barak as its first ever solo Artistic Director. Barak’s first full-length ballet for LAB was 2023’s highly acclaimed Memoryhouse , a dramatic and emotional abstract ballet composed of vignettes commemorating the Holocaust and performed at The Broad Stage in Santa Monica. The 2023/2024 Season is Barak’s inaugural programmed season and will include another original work and world premiere by her. The Los Angeles Ballet Center is located on L.A.’s Westside. The Center’s 12,000 square feet encompass three dance studios, LAB’s administrative offices, a home box office, physical therapy services, a wardrobe department and costume storage. In September 2009, the Los Angeles Ballet Guild was established to support the mission of Los Angeles Ballet and provide the assistance to organize a volunteer workforce for performances and special events. The Guild has become an indispensable arm of the LAB support structure. Patrons of the Guild was formed in 2013; its mission is to provide vital support and advocacy for Los Angeles Ballet. LAB’s Power of Performance! (POP!) outreach program has provided 50,000+ free tickets to underserved and disadvantaged children, seniors, veterans and their families, through collaboration with community partners. An additional LAB outreach program, A Chance to Dance , offers a monthly Community Day at the Los Angeles Ballet Center, where all ages are invited to take free ballet, jazz, and other dance classes and workshops, and to learn about fitness and nutrition from company dancers, staff, and physical therapists.

- Major Giving | Season 2024/2025 | Los Angeles Ballet
Los Angeles Ballet is launching an exciting new partnership opportunity for Season 19! If you are a luxury brand seeking to bridge and advance the art forms of design and dance, please consider joining our LAB Brand Collaborators. Major Giving 2024/2025 Season / Major Giving / Elevate the Stage: Invest in the future of Los Angeles Ballet As Los Angeles Ballet (LAB) begins Season 19, our mission to bring high-quality and culturally enriching ballet to Los Angeles County is driven by our passion for the art form and our belief that ballet should be shared with, and enjoyed by, as many people as possible. Major gifts help LAB achieve transformational growth, provide financial support for long-term planning, and elevate the art form. Learn more about our Special Project Funds and Season 19 Priorities below: ARTISTIC INNOVATION FUND DANCERS WELLNESS FUND COMMUNITY ENGAGEMENT FUND COSTUME, SCENIC, AND STAGING FUND MEMORYHOUSE BARAK | RICHTER LIVE ORCHESTRA FUND OFF BALANCE Special Project Funds Artistic Innovation Fund Pioneering new works keeps ballet evolving and propels the art form forward. To date, LAB has created and produced 17 illuminating world-premiere ballets. The Artistic Innovation Fund supports commissioning new works and collaborations such as LAB’s Artistic Director Melissa Barak’s world-premiere Cylindrical Forces with an original score by award-winning film composer Kris Bowers. $25,000 Provides seed funding for the new work development process. The choreographer develops a unique concept or narrative, often inspired by a story, theme, or musical score, forming the foundational vision of the new ballet. $50,000 Supports a week of rehearsal workshops with the full company as the new work takes shape. Dancers begin exploring and interpreting the choreography. This phase involves iterative refinement, where feedback from rehearsals informs adjustments in the choreography and production design. $100,000 Funds transferring the work from the studio to the stage. Final adjustments are made to integrate the choreography with the various production designers - sound, scenic, costume and lighting. Dancer Wellness Fund Ensures our dancers have all the support they need to achieve high-performance goals as athletes and artists! LAB employs a company of 26 professional dancers on a 26-week contract. $25,000 Supports physical therapy for the company. By providing personalized care, physical therapists help ensure that dancers can perform at their best while minimizing the risk of short-term injury and promoting a sustainable, long-lasting career for our dancers. $50,000 Funds dancer supplies including new pointe shoes and facilities updates to keep our dancers safe. LAB purchases approximately 350 pointe shoes a year! $100,000 Underwrites one month of training to prepare our company for the rigorous demands of the art form. Unlike other performing artists, professional ballet dancers must take daily technique classes with ballet masters, weight training, and conditioning to maintain physical fitness and foster artistic growth before rehearsing. Community Engagement Fund LAB’s Community Engagement activities are currently centered on two long-standing programs. Power of Performance (POP!) provides at least 10% of tickets seasonally, free of charge, to under-resourced community members. LAB does this by partnering with nonprofit, social service, and community-based organizations focused on supporting and enriching the lives of vulnerable groups, including foster children, senior citizens, U.S. military veterans, formerly incarcerated adults, and more. “I was at The Nutcracker , the very first ballet with our ladies. It was so magical to see some who had been homeless or being abused or just abusing themselves with drugs so free and happy. The situation that got me was that about half of the ladies had tears streaming down their faces and they all said at once when they saw me looking at them that they had never experienced something so beautiful before." – Program Participant LAB’s other primary Dance Engagement program is A Chance To Dance (ACTD), an arts learning program that provides monthly free dance classes to the public for all ages. ACTD features age- and skill-appropriate dance instruction, with all classes taught by LAB company dancers. In addition to expanding our ACTD classes year-round, LAB has reactivated ACTD in public schools as part of a partnership with Turn Around Arts. LAB has begun a residency at McKinley Elementary School (a K-8, Title 1 school in the Compton Unified School District) to offer free dance classes to their students. $25,000 Gives the gift of live ballet to 250 participants of POP! $50,000 Provides free dance classes to 1,200 arts learners of all ages and levels. $100,000 Underwrites 10% of Nutcracker performance tickets to serve 1,000 POP! participants. Costume, Scenic and Staging Fund Invest in the crucial technical and creative elements that go into transforming the stage into the stunning world exhibited by classical ballet. From the detailed staging by repetiteurs to executing the dramatic lighting, costumes, and set design, these aspects are all integrated to create ballet magic. $25,000 Supports authorized repetiteurs to teach and rehearse beloved choreography, like Balanchine’s Serenade . $50,000 Funds the creation of new costumes and provides much-needed funding to refurbish existing pieces in our inventory. Costume design plays a crucial role in preserving the artistic integrity and vibrancy of the ballet for future generations. $100,000 Underwrites lighting, scenic design, and production materials, which are vital for translating a choreographer's vision into a tangible experience. They set the mood, highlight key moments, and help tell the story visually, making the narrative more accessible to the audience. Season 19 Priorities Memoryhouse Barak | Ritcher January 30 – February 1, 2025 | Co-Presented with The Wallis Los Angeles Ballet seeks funding to restage Artistic Director Melissa Barak’s vitally important work Memoryhouse commemorating the 6 million Jewish lives lost during the Holocaust to mark the 80th anniversary since the camps were liberated. Barak partnered with Hagy Belzberg, Founding Partner of BA Collective and the architect of The Holocaust Museum LA for set design, and Sebastian Peschiera of Narduli Studio for media design. Sponsorship supports the artistic, production, and design transfer to The Wallis. Pioneering New Work The original full-length ballet by LAB Artistic Director Melissa Barak was created to move audiences on a visceral level to seek out information about a history that can never be forgotten. The piece premiered in June 2023 at the BroadStage thanks to Principal Sponsor support from The David and Janet Polak Foundation and received local and national critical acclaim. “Memoryhouse signals a dazzling creative accomplishment.” – Forbes “Striking and complex neoclassical ballet.” – LA Times According to the Dance Data Project, the year Memoryhouse premiered there were only twelve full-length world premieres. Only two of those premieres were choreographed by women. Melissa Barak and Los Angeles Ballet were one of those two premieres. Levels of Support Sponsor - $25,000 Supports the rehearsal process. Major Sponsor - $50,000 Funds the production transfer to The Wallis. Lead Sponsor - $75,000 Underwrites one performance. Live Orchestra Fund The Nutcracker December 19 – 28, 2024 (10 performances) Cinderella June 12 – 15, 2025 (5 performances) Los Angeles Ballet seeks funding to support a live orchestra of 56 musicians and a conductor for LAB’s The Nutcracker and Cinderella performances at Dolby Theatre. Where Music Meets Motion Audiences and dancers can feel when a score is performed live. A live orchestra brings an added layer of energy to every performance. This synergy is why Los Angeles Ballet is passionate about honoring the original intentions of choreographers and composers. The enduring tradition of a full orchestra pit breathing life into the masterpieces of legendary composers, such as Tchaikovsky’s The Nutcracker or Prokofiev’s Cinderella , is becoming a rarity. In recent years, ballet companies have been forced to substitute live orchestras with recorded music as they struggle with escalating production costs and inflation. LAB is one of the few companies in Southern California that still performs classical ballets with live orchestration. Not only are we enhancing the artistic experience, but we are also contributing to the creative economy in Los Angeles County by supporting working musicians. Levels of Support Sponsor - $25,000 Underwrites 25 musicians for one performance. Major Sponsor - $50,000 Underwrites 50 musicians for one performance. Lead Sponsor - $75,000 Underwrites a full orchestra and conductor for two performances. Off Balance March 22 – 23, 2025 | Destination Crenshaw’s Sankofa Park This season LAB introduces an exciting new dance series, Off Balance . In collaboration with multifaceted artist Shantell Martin, this avant-garde exploration of levels and space will be performed at Destination Crenshaw’s Sankofa Park. Off Balance is the inaugural piece of an experimental new dance program for LAB that includes collaborations with diverse artists, choreographers, and musicians pushing the boundaries of ballet and dance, set in environments off the proscenium stage. Innovative Collaborations Choreographer/Visual Designer British-born visual artist Shantell Martin, known for her work across various disciplines, has achieved notable success in the realms of fine art, education, design, philosophy, and technology. Her journey includes collaborations with prestigious institutions such as MIT Media Lab, NYU Tisch ITP, and Columbia University’s Brown Institute, as well as choreographing for Boston Ballet. Martin's art explores themes like intersectionality, identity, and play and, she has showcased her work in solo exhibitions at renowned galleries, including the 92Y Gallery in New York, Albright Knox Gallery, and the New Britain Museum of American Art. Levels of Support Sponsor - $25,000 Supports the new work development phase to devise and conceptualize the work from the ground up. Major Sponsor - $50,000 Funds the rehearsal and collaboration process with the dancers and creative team. Lead Sponsor - $75,000 Underwrites one performance. Be part of the movement! When you give to LAB, you join a community of philanthropists who believe that both pioneering new works and beloved classics are the future of the cultural landscape of Los Angeles. We seek to build a community through a shared love of ballet and to provide a deeper appreciation of the art form through unique experiences and exclusive content.
