Carolina Ballet: A Celebration of Female Choreographers

Carolina Ballet was well ahead of the curve when it named Lynne Taylor-Corbett resident guest choreographer in 2000. Twenty years later, women occupy only 21 percent of those positions in U.S. companies, in an industry where 81 percent of all works last season were choreographed by men. Taylor-Corbett revisits her beachside satire Boléro, alongside works by Joffrey Ballet award-winner Mariana Oliveira, queer choreographer Adriana Pierce, and local Jenny Palmer, who vividly choreographed Goblin Market for the 2018 Women’s Theatre Festival. —Byron Woods
