Here at Pointeworks, we unify artists to collaborate with a heart towards change.

Along with it being Pointeworks biggest event to date, we are dedicating this night to the incredible women that shape our industry. "COMPOSITIONS" is our way of honoring our very own Resident Choreographer, Katie Jenkins, as the very FIRST female composer to compose a full evening ballet of mixed repertoire. The program features the return of Laine Habony’s Chasing Shadows, a striking piano solo work, Jacquelyn Long’s Moving Forces for six dancers, piano and violin, and the evening culminates in a world premiere, Where No Storm Comes, by acclaimed choreographer Hélène Simoneau, featuring a soaring new score for live string quartet.
