Velveteen Rabbit

We are thrilled to announce our collaboration with composer Nick Scarim, and our first full length ballet, The Velveteen Rabbit. We are honored to bring this childhood favorite to the stage, and articulate this impactful narrative to Scarim’s original score with live accompaniment. Thank you to Third Street Music for helping us share this movement with children of all ages, and create educational programming for students throughout the five boroughs.
