Gianna Reisen’s 2022 commission for the School of American Ballet reveals rippling rows of dancers unleashing bursts of refreshing energy in solos and duets before the swelling waves of the ensemble’s current absorb them once again.

Gianna Reisen’s Signs was originally created for the School of American Ballet Workshop in 2022, and is set to music by Philip Glass. Signs is the fourth work by Reisen to enter NYCB’s repertory, following Composer’s Holiday (2017), Judah (2018), and Play Time (2022), which were all created for NYCB. The ballet for 10 dancers features costumes by NYCB Director of Costumes Marc Happel and lighting by NYCB Resident Lighting Director Mark Stanley.
