Unboxed is a celebration of contemporary dance by three world-renowned choreographers at the top of their field: Rena Butler, Larry Keigwin and OKC Ballet's Artistic Director Ryan Jolicoeur-Nye. Each choreographer will present a short work, and visual artist Yatika Starr Fields will design set and costume pieces in collaboration with Rena Butler.

World-premiere intellectual property will be created right here in Oklahoma with some of the brightest and most-talented creative minds of our time. Unboxed will fill a need in our region to help pioneer dance on the global stage, creating work that can be presented to our local community AND can be remounted in other public spaces around the country. It will also increase accessibility to new ballet audiences: Tickets are “pay what you can.”
