CBA Events

CBA’s public programs feature in-person lectures, seminars, conversations, and performances by our fellows and their collaborators. Our specially curated events seek to inspire new ideas and expand the way we think about ballet’s history, practice, and performance in the 21st century.

Many of CBA’s events are recorded and available to watch here.
