Behind the Stage Door

Behind the Stage Door is an interactive multimedia performance that explores the “invisible” forces that bring the ballet to life.

Through a soundscape of diverse voices, original musical composition, dance, film, sculpture and interactive multimedia stage design, the piece illuminates the many personalities, stories, and experiences that underlie and make possible the transcendent art form that is the ballet.

Program Concept and Creative Direction by Sarah Cooper
Behind the Stage Door Ballet is performed by Artists of Philadelphia Ballet II under the artistic direction of Eddy Tovar

Sensory Friendly

Launched in 2016, Sensory Friendly Performances are specifically designed for those with unique sensory needs and their families to create an inclusive atmosphere. These special programs cultivate a relaxed atmosphere, giving individuals space to move around, permission to speak during the performances, and areas to decompress.
