Patricia Reser Center for the Arts | 12625 SW Crescent St, Beaverton, OR 97005
Curating the New
Our season’s grand finale is a trove of discovery—a collection of bold West Coast voices pushing ballet into uncharted territory. San Francisco Ballet’s Davide Occhipinti bends light into motion, while OBT’s own Lauren Flower crafts movement that lingers in the mind long after the curtain falls. Dani Rowe embarks on a new choreographic journey featuring retiring Principal Dancers Brian Simcoe and Carly Wheaton. And, as always, The OBT Collection holds one last gem, unearthed from 2025’s OBT by Design: Ben Youngstone’s Uncertain Growth. These are the ballets you haven’t seen yet but won’t forget. Be there when they emerge.
