DOWNTOWN BROOKLYN — Brooklyn Ballet’s spring 2026 season launches with four world premieres in “Soft Power” at the Mark O’Donnell Theater from March 12 to March 15.
Lynn Parkerson, founder and artistic director of Brooklyn Ballet, told the Brooklyn Eagle, “The community and who Brooklyn is became central to the mission and to the work that we do. Whether it’s the creative work or the arts education work, whether it’s our board, it’s really about this place and who the people are here.”
In collaboration with three other artists, Parkerson blends classical ballet with contemporary dance to explore the dialogue between disciplines, generations, genders and cultures.
“Soft Power” launches at 160 Schermerhorn St. with five performances, including an opening night benefit and reception on Thursday, March 12, a children-friendly matinee on Saturday, March 14, and a post-performance question-and-answer panel after the Saturday evening performance.
