Returning to Colorado theaters after a highly successful inaugural season, Boulder’s newest ballet company, Artistic Ventures in Dance, invites you to join us for BOUNDLESS, an unforgettable evening marking our debut at the Macky Auditorium. 

Artistic Director Emily Speed has curated a dramatic evening of classical and contemporary works by some of today’s most exciting choreographers, as well as a tribute to the legacy of American dance. 

Audiences will enjoy the cinematic quality of Alexa Rose Foundation awardee Daniel Ojeda’s acclaimed work, "Persona", with music by Marc Mellits, alongside an expanded version of Quinn Wharton's crowd favorite, "IMPULSE". To honor the rich history of classical dance, AVID presents Gerald Arpino's iconic "Confetti"—a timeless work that continues to inspire generations of dancers. Finally, the evening will feature “Human.” by Cherice Barton, which was highly reviewed following its premiere in NYC earlier this year. Barton’s choreography is accompanied by an original score by resident composer Anne-Marie Keane, promising a performance that gives audiences a fresh and thought-provoking experience through music & dance—one showcasing ART that MOVES. 

This evening includes a special guest. As a Boulder-based organization, part of AVID’s mission is to uplift dance and build connections within the Boulder community. We are thrilled to have Boulder Ballet join AVID onstage at the Macky this year. 

“The nucleus of AVID is the presence of a group of superb dancers (who) occupy the stage in a big way…there’s no limit to what AVID (will) be able to accomplish in the future.”
