Curated by Christopher Wheeldon, the festival’s choreographer-in-residence, two galas feature soloists from leading companies such as The Royal Ballet, San Francisco Ballet, and Martha Graham Dance Company. The program also includes the world premiere of a new piece by Danielle Rowe, created especially for PAAX.

Darkside: Where the Unexpected Comes to Life

As night falls, alternative rhythms take the stage. Jazz, swing, cumbia, and hybrid sounds light up the evening, led by resident ensemble The Amazing Keystone Big Band. Guest performers include Paul McGill, Neïma Naouri, and beatbox virtuoso Tom Thum.
