After his award-winning foray with Rodeo: Four Dance Episodes, Resident Choreographer Justin Peck goes all-in with Aaron Copland, creating an original full-evening work in collaboration with painter and sculptor Jeffrey Gibson.

Justin Peck’s Copland Dance Episodes is Peck’s 23rd piece for NYCB and his first full-evening work. The ballet for 30 dancers in 22 episodes is set to four scores by Aaron Copland: Fanfare for the Common Man, Four Dance Episodes from Rodeo, Appalachian Spring, and Billy the Kid. Copland Dance Episodes features set design by celebrated artist Jeffrey Gibson, costumes by former NYCB dancer Ellen Warren, and lighting by Peck’s frequent collaborator Brandon Stirling Baker.
