A pair of festivals, a pair of premieres, and a rare North American tour—the performances in this month’s lineup are well worth braving the cold weather to see.

Dance often takes inspiration from music. But what happens when your creativity is stirred by an art form that is less straightforward to translate into dance? Or what if you’d like to create based on another form, but aren’t sure quite where to begin?

Chameleonlike choreographer Stefanie Batten Bland brings her singular imagination to everything she touches, from buzzy immersive shows to her own transformative pieces.

Here are the latest promotions, appointments and departures, as well as notable awards and accomplishments, from January 2023.

Further spurred on by the theatrical justice movement during the pandemic, it is immersive theater’s turn to change patterns as we move with pride into the rest of this century.

Much of the dance world is at—or headed to—a summer festival right now. It’s impossible to catch it all, but if we could be in multiple places at once, here’s what we’d be hoping to see.

For Stefanie Batten Bland’s latest work, Embarqued: Stories of Soil, the choreographer added some unique collaborators to her creative team: a fisherman and a boat captain.

New year, new works—here are four programs we’re very much looking forward to this month.
