SUMMARY:Blind Date with a Ballet
DESCRIPTION:YOU’RE GOING ON A BLIND DATE… WITH A BALLET.\nAt this special Pointeworks event\, guests will select between Ballet A or Ballet B—without knowing exactly what they’ll see. Each choice leads to a distinct rehearsal experience\, revealing a different side of the creative process. \nYou’ll spend 45 minutes inside the studio observing a live working rehearsal\, then join both groups afterward for a relaxed reception with drinks\, conversation\, and the chance to meet the artists. \nThis is not a performance—it’s a window into the process.\nAnd no two experiences will be the same. \nLimited to 20 guests total\n10 guests per studio \nHOW IT WORKS\n\n\nChoose Ballet A or Ballet B when reserving your ticket \n\n\nAttend a 45-minute live rehearsal viewing \n\n\nJoin a post-rehearsal reception with drinks \n\n\nConnect with artists and fellow guests through guided conversation \n\n\nCHOOSE YOUR MATCH\nBALLET A — THE SLOW BURN\nA quiet tension. A conversation that never quite lands. \nThis duet lives in the space between what is felt and what is spoken—subtle\, layered\, and deeply human. Every glance and gesture carries weight\, building a sense of connection that is as restrained as it is charged. \nMood: intimate\, intense\, emotionally nuanced\nFor you if: you’re drawn to subtlety\, complexity\, and what lingers beneath the surface \nBALLET B — THE SPARK\nA connection that ignites instantly. \nThis pas de deux is driven by young love and emotional intensity. It captures the thrill of being pulled toward someone with undeniable force—where everything feels heightened and nothing is held back. \nMood: passionate\, impulsive\, sweet\nFor you if: you want something dynamic\, emotionally charged\, and impossible to ignore \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nTICKETS\nPay What You Can\nSuggested donation: $30 per person \nYour support helps Pointeworks provide paid opportunities for dancers and continue creating new work.

SUMMARY:OPEN REHEARSAL: KEERATI JINAKUNWIPHAT NEW WORK
DESCRIPTION:Join Pointeworks for an in-studio open rehearsal of a new work by decorated emerging choreographic voice Keerati Jinakunwiphat. After just one week in the studio\, experience the early stages of her ballet in creation and gain insight into the choreographic process. \nPAY-WHAT-YOU-CAN TICKETS.\nOPEN TO ALL AGES.\n\n\n\n\n\n\nReserve Your Seats & More Info\n\n\n\n\n\n\nWelcome to our Pointeworks creative space\, where dancers and choreographers can collaborate at the highest level. \nStep into the studio for this is a rare opportunity to witness the early stages of a ballet in development—where ideas are still evolving\, movement is being shaped\, and the creative process is fully visible. \nAs a choreographer\, Jinakunwiphat’s work centers on community\, connection\, and identity\, drawing from her experience as a Thai-American artist navigating multiple cultural perspectives. Her process emphasizes collaboration and exploration\, asking how we relate to one another through movement. \nThis event offers a unique window into that process—inviting audiences to engage not just with the final product\, but with the making of the work itself. \nABOUT THE CHOREOGRAPHER\nKeerati Jinakunwiphat is a New York City–based choreographer and dance artist\, originally from Chicago. A recipient of the Princess Grace Award in Choreography\, Jinakunwiphat was named one of Dance Magazine’s “25 to Watch” and is a current Artist in Residence at the 92NY Harkness Dance Center. \nShe has collaborated with leading contemporary artists including Kyle Abraham\, Trisha Brown\, and Doug Varone\, and has created works for companies and institutions across the U.S. \nIn 2023\, she became the first Asian American woman commissioned by New York City Ballet\, creating Fortuitous Ash with music by Du Yun. Her choreography has been presented at venues including Lincoln Center\, The Joyce Theater\, and MASS MoCA. \nKeerati’s work has caught the attention of the dance world and her unique perspective offers a truly extraordinary opportunity for dance to become something beyond movement\, but translate as a message to audiences. The question is then\, what will Keerati say with this work? Be the first to know and include your energy in the studio as she creates this ballet.
