Part of Duke Performances’ Ballet Futures series, Nunes Jensen’s talk is part of a yearlong exploration — through regular performances and convenings featuring leading ballet choreographers and companies — of the present and future of the form.

The Alonzo King LINES Ballet residency culminates in a pair of performances, on Friday, November 15 and Saturday, November 16, in Duke’s Reynolds Industries Theater. Tickets and info available HERE.
