The Spring Season will mark the reappearance of Bolender’s Voyager, a provocative 1984 ballet created in collaboration with Kansas City light sculptor, the late Dale Eldred. The score is Leonard Bernstein’s Serenade.

A second series of Six Solos of Consequence will be presented. The initial concept of staging rarely seen solos by primarily early modern choreographers resulted in great audience interest as well as national notice. This new series of solos, which will include more contemporary work as well as earlier ballets, will feature choreographers Isadora Duncan, Mary Wigman, two works by George Balanchine, Claire Porter, and Bob Fosse. William Whitener will stage the Fosse piece as he performed the solo in a larger work, Dancin’, produced on Broadway in 1998.

Finishing the season will be Kansas City Ballet's third work by Twyla Tharp, The Catherine Wheel Suite, with music by pop/rock icon David Byrne (Talking Heads). The Suite is a collaborative project between Twyla harp and William Whitener. It will synthesize elements from the original, longer work The Catherine Wheel, which first premiered on Broadway in September 1981 to huge popular acclaim.
