Description
FSBT will present an evening of new work with three world premiere ballets by Viktor Plotnikov, Blake Krapels, and Carlos Martinez. Viktor Plotnikov was born in Kharkov City, Ukraine and graduated from the Vaganova Ballet Academy with FSBT Artistic Director Pasha Kambalov. Plotnikov is a frequent FSBT collaborator, and has created many works for the company, including two full-length ballets, Dracula and Romeo & Juliet, and last season’s “Wings,” as part of Triple Bill in February 2024. Blake Krapels brings a collaborative approach and exciting contemporary dance perspective to FSBT as co-founder of The Sonder Space, a dance company in Philadelphia, and four year alum of the groundbreaking BalletX. Carlos Martinez, who delights audiences each season onstage as an FSBT dancer, will take on a new role as choreographer as he creates his first ballet for FSBT.
