Pegasus Contemporary Ballet, Dallas’ only contemporary ballet company, is presenting their highly anticipated performance of Synergy 2024 at the Moody Performance Hall on June 21 and 22. Synergy promises an electrifying night, uniting local musicians from various genres and dancers on a single stage for a remarkable and rare performance experience. Pegasus Contemporary Ballet will present three world-premiere choreographic commissions, each created in collaboration with musicians performing live including Grammy Award-winning jazz violinist, Scott Tixier; percussionist and producer, Christopher ‘Chill’ Hill; and techno composer and producer, Declan James.
Synergy was first piloted in 2023, creating a unique and collaborative performance that connected audiences and artists from diverse backgrounds. Although this year’s program differs completely from the 2023 show, both are grounded in the shared idea of uniting musicians and dancers. Pegasus Contemporary Ballet hopes to continue building momentum for Synergy and plans to bring the program back in the future.
Pegasus Contemporary Ballet was founded in 2021 as Dallas’ premiere contemporary ballet company. In its first three seasons, the company has celebrated sold-out audiences, multiple collaborations, audience praise, support from Dallas’ Office of Arts and Culture and the Dallas Arts District Foundation, and has been awarded various grants from prestigious organizations such as TACA, The Moody Fund For The Arts, and The Harold Simmons Foundation. Pegasus believes audiences can experience ballet as a living contemporary art form that resonates with the humanity of all who encounter it.
