| Vespers |
| "Vespers" by Ulysses Dove is as powerful as it is stark. Danced by six women in simple black dresses with no props except half a dozen wooden chairs ... Dove has limited the movement vocabulary to a terse selection of spirals, single hands pointing upward, and arabesques that slice like arrows into your heart. Grief and determination--unvarnished and unadorned--propel the dancers. |

| Brethren |
| Brethren is a neo-classical ballet, choreographed by Bernard H. Gaddis, with music by Arvo Part and Samuel Barber. Brethren was premiered in 1997 as a dedication to the male dancers lost in the fight against AIDS, it has since been rededicated to male dancers everywhere. The ballet features an all-male ensemble symbolizing souls ascending and the angels struggling for their salvation. |

| Portraits |
| Choreographer Zane Booker had each dancer chose a historical figure, doing research and creative writing about the person before turning their thoughts into movements. Among their inspirations were James Baldwin, Gloria Steinem, and Josephine Baker; each character struggled with discrimination—sexism, homophobia, and racism. |
