THIS MISSION IS ACCOMPANIED BY A COMMITMENT TO EXPAND THE COMPANY'S AUDIENCE AND MAKE BALLET ACCESSIBLE TO THE WIDEST POSSIBLE PUBLIC THROUGH TOURING, EDUCATION PROGRAMS, THE CREATIVE USE OF MEDIA, AND OTHER OUTREACH EFFORTS. |
| FORM 990, PART III, LINE 4A, PROGRAM SERVICE ACCOMPLISHMENTS: | BALLET PRODUCTIONS, PERFORMANCES, AND EDUCATION: AFTER AN 18-MONTH HIATUS SINCE THE START OF THE COVID-19 PANDEMIC, NEW YORK CITY BALLET ("NYCB") WAS ABLE TO RETURN TO THE DAVID H. KOCH THEATER STAGE, PRESENTING 18 WEEKS OF PROGRAMMING TO OVER 217,000 AUDIENCE MEMBERS DURING OUR 2021-2022 SEASON. IN NYCB'S RETURN TO LIVE, ONSTAGE PROGRAMMING, THE COMPANY PRESENTED SIX NEW WORKS, REVIVED REPERTORY FAVORITES, AND MARKED THE 50TH ANNIVERSARY OF THE 1972 STRAVINSKY FESTIVAL. NYCB TYPICALLY COMMISSIONS CHOREOGRAPHERS TO CREATE SIX TO EIGHT NEW WORKS EACH SEASON. IN DISCUSSING THE 2021-22 SEASON, ASSOCIATE ARTISTIC DIRECTOR WENDY WHELAN NOTED THAT "WE ARE HONORED TO PRESENT THE MOST DIVERSE GROUP OF CHOREOGRAPHERS WHO HAVE EVER BEEN COMMISSIONED BY NYCB DURING A SINGLE SEASON." THE FALL 2021 SEASON FEATURED THE PREMIERES OF SIDRA BELL AND ANDREA MILLER, WHOSE WORKS WERE TITLED SUSPENDED ANIMATION AND SKY TO HOLD, RESPECTIVELY. MILLER'S WORK ALSO FEATURED A SCORE BY LIDO PIMIENTA, A COLUMBIAN-CANADIAN SINGER/SONGWRITER WHO IS THE SECOND FEMALE COMPOSER AND THE FIRST FEMALE COMPOSER OF COLOR TO BE COMMISSIONED IN THE HISTORY OF THE COMPANY. THE WINTER 2022 SEASON FEATURED TWO NEW WORKS: PARTITA BY CHOREOGRAPHER IN RESIDENT JUSTIN PECK, SET TO THE SCORE "PARTITA FOR 8 VOICES" BY CAROLINE SHAW; AND EMANON IN TWO MOVEMENTS BY JAMAR ROBERTS, SET TO A SCORE BY JAZZ LUMINARY WAYNE SHORTER. THE SPRING 2022 SEASON FEATURED THE 50TH ANNIVERSARY CELEBRATION OF NEW YORK CITY BALLET'S 1972 STRAVINSKY FESTIVAL. THE CELEBRATION FEATURED BALLETS SET TO THE MUSIC OF IGOR STRAVINSKY BY GEORGE BALANCHINE, JEROME ROBBINS, AND JUSTIN PECK. THE CELEBRATION ALSO SHOWCASED THE WORLD PREMIERE OF ARCHITECTS OF TIME, CHOREOGRAPHED BY FORMER NYCB DANCER SILAS FARLEY AND SET TO A SCORE BY DAVID K. ISRAEL, BASED ON A 1946 MUSICAL EXCHANGE BETWEEN STRAVINSKY AND BALANCHINE. THE SPRING SEASON ALSO FEATURED TWO WORKS BY PAM TANOWITZ: THE WORLD PREMIERE OF LAW OF MOSAICS, SET TO TED HEARNE'S STRING SCORE OF THE SAME NAME, AND THE NYCB PREMIERE OF GUSTAVE LE GRAY NO. 1 SET TO MUSIC BY CAROLINE SHAW FEATURING TWO DANCERS FROM THE DANCER THEATRE OF HARLEM AND TWO DANCERS FROM NYCB.

EDUCATION: NEW YORK CITY BALLET ("NYCB") IMPLEMENTED A ROBUST SUITE OF EDUCATION AND ACCESS PROGRAMS FOR PEOPLE OF ALL ABILITIES FOR THE 2021-2022 SEASON. THESE PROGRAMS ARE PART OF NYCB'S COMMITMENT TO OFFER AUDIENCES OF ALL AGES AND ABILITIES THE OPPORTUNITY TO ENGAGE WITH OUR ARTISTS AND TO EXPERIENCE THE ART FORM OF BALLET. NYCB CONDUCTS THREE DISTINCT IN-SCHOOL RESIDENCY PROGRAMS (PROJECT BALLET, BALLET TALES, THE NUTCRACKER PROJECT) IN NYC PUBLIC SCHOOLS FOR STUDENTS FROM FIRST THROUGH FIFTH GRADES, EMPHASIZING CREATIVE EXPRESSION, STUDENT DANCEMAKING, AND LITERACY. RESIDENCIES INTRODUCE STUDENTS TO GEORGE BALANCHINE AND OTHER CHOREOGRAPHERS, ENGAGE STUDENTS WITH THEMES IN CHOREOGRAPHY AND MUSIC, AND FOCUS ON COLLABORATIVE DANCEMAKING. THROUGHOUT 2021-2022, WE WERE FACED WITH THE SCHOOLS' CONSTANT CHANGES IN SAFETY PROTOCOLS, UNPREDICTABLE CLASS CANCELLATIONS, STAFFING SHORTAGES, AND CLOSURES, ALL WHILE OUR TEACHING ARTISTS SOUGHT TO PROVIDE INCREASED SUPPORT FOR STUDENTS WHOSE LEARNING TIMELINES HAD BEEN IMPACTED BY THE PANDEMIC. OVERALL, NYCB SERVED 4,485 PUBLIC ELEMENTARY SCHOOL STUDENTS ACROSS 190 CLASSROOMS AND 29 SCHOOLS. OF THOSE SCHOOLS, 75% WERE TITLE I, AND 65% OF STUDENTS SERVED RECEIVED FREE OR REDUCED-COST LUNCH. WE WERE PROUD TO RETURN TO LARGELY IN-PERSON RESIDENCIES IN SPITE OF THESE SIGNIFICANT CHALLENGES. NYCB'S ACCESS PROGRAMS INCLUDE A VARIETY OF FREE PROGRAMMING FOR CHILDREN, TEENS, AND ADULTS WITH PHYSICAL AND COGNITIVE DISABILITIES SUCH AS AUTISM, CEREBRAL PALSY, DOWN SYNDROME, JOINT DISEASES, AND BRAIN TRAUMA, AS WELL AS OTHER UNDERSERVED POPULATIONS. PROGRAMS TYPICALLY INCLUDE HIGHLY CUSTOMIZED MOVEMENT WORKSHOPS LED BY NYCB DANCERS AND TEACHING ARTISTS, ARTIST VISITS TO MEDICAL AND EDUCATIONAL FACILITIES, AND ATTENDANCE AT NYCB PERFORMANCES AT THE DAVID H. KOCH THEATER. THE COMPANY'S FIRST ADAPTIVE WORKSHOP WAS DEVELOPED IN PARTNERSHIP WITH THE WEINBERG FAMILY CEREBRAL PALSY CENTER AT COLUMBIA UNIVERSITY, AND SINCE THEN, NYCB HAS ESTABLISHED PARTNERSHIPS WITH MORE THAN 15 ORGANIZATIONS IN NEW YORK CITY, UPSTATE NEW YORK, AND CONNECTICUT. THROUGHOUT 2021-2022, NYCB'S EDUCATION DEPARTMENT COMMUNICATED REGULARLY WITH OUR ACCESS PROGRAM PARTNERS AND LEARNED THAT MANY WERE NOT YET READY TO RESUME IN-PERSON PROGRAMMING FOR A VARIETY OF REASONS, SO MOST ACCESS PROGRAMMING TOOK PLACE VIRTUALLY. IN SPRING 2022, NYCB CONDUCTED SEVERAL ACCESS PROGRAMS IN PERSON, INCLUDING WITH A NEW PARTNER, CITY MISSION SCHENECTADY, WHERE WE HELD A WORKSHOP SPECIFICALLY FOR THE WOMEN AND CHILDREN LIVING THERE. OVERALL, NYCB SERVED 624 HOUSEHOLDS AND 268 INDIVIDUALS WITH ACCESS PROGRAMMING THROUGHOUT 2021-2022. NYCB'S PUBLIC PROGRAMS PROVIDE OPPORTUNITIES FOR PEOPLE OF ALL AGES TO INTERACT WITH AND LEARN MORE ABOUT THE COMPANY'S LEGACY AND INNOVATION. IN 2021-2022, WE SERVED 9,369 PEOPLE WITH A COMBINATION OF VIRTUAL AND IN-PERSON PUBLIC PROGRAMMING. OUR FAMILY SATURDAYS PROGRAMS (ONE-HOUR ONSTAGE PRESENTATIONS THAT INTRODUCE CHILDREN AND THEIR FAMILIES TO NYCB AND ITS REPERTORY), AND INSIDE NYCB (ONE-HOUR ONSTAGE PRESENTATIONS INTENDED FOR ADULT AUDIENCES, WHICH EXPLORE THE HISTORY AND INNER WORKINGS OF NYCB THROUGH PERFORMANCE, DISCUSSION, AND DEMONSTRATION), RESUMED LIVE IN FEBRUARY 2022. NYCB ALSO CONDUCTED A RANGE OF PUBLIC WORKSHOPS FOR CHILDREN AND ADULTS (IN MOTION, BALLET BREAKS, AND BALLET ESSENTIALS), LARGELY IN-PERSON. FINALLY, NYCB PRESENTED IN-PERSON LECTURE DEMONSTRATIONS AND WORKSHOPS DURING OUR TOURING PERFORMANCES AT THE SARATOGA PERFORMING ARTS CENTER AND GUILD HALL IN JULY AND AUGUST 2021, AND AT THE KENNEDY CENTER FOR THE PERFORMING ARTS IN JUNE 2022. |
