Art After Dark / For The Record: Miami City Ballet

Friday, September 24 / 5PM-7PM

Schedule of Events

Performances by the Miami City Ballet

Heyman Plaza

Miami City Ballet dancer and choreographer Alaina Andersen will premiere Fire as part of the Norton Museum’s exhibit: For the Record: Celebrating Art by Women during the museum’s Art After Dark program on Friday, September 24. This performance marks the company’s first Palm Beach engagement since its critically acclaimed Firebird program at the Kravis Center in February 2020. Fire is a casual, sneaker ballet pas de deux featuring MCB dancers Adrienne Carter and Nicole Stalker. Set to the music of Waxahatchee, Fire is a queer oriented duet that portrays a range of emotions involving womanhood and all the joys and sorrows that come with it.

Earlier this year, Alaina debuted Tang to critical and audience acclaim. You can view that performance here.
