New Works Fund

Commissioning new works from talented choreographers and acquiring world-class repertory is the essence of our mission.  Since its inception in 2002, CoCCB has commissioned several new ballets and acquired the rights to perform significant works by major choreographers such as Antony Tudor, Paul Taylor, Twyla Tharp, David Parsons, and Lynne Taylor- Corbett.  This dedication to quality, innovation, and the future of the art comes at a price.  You can help by making a gift to the New Works Fund. 

Donors to the New Work Fund will receive the same benefits as those who have donated at the same level under our Individual Giving program.

For information about underwriting a World Premiere of a new ballet or the Company Premiere of a ballet acquired from a visiting choreographer, please contact Executive Director, Elizabeth Reed at ereed@companycballet.org.  Underwriters of World Premieres and Company Premieres will receive the same benefits as those who have donated at the same level under our Individual Giving program.   

Pointe Shoe Fund

One pair of pointe shoes can cost as much as $100 per pair and can wear out in just a few days.  Purchasing pointe shoes for the dancers to wear in class, rehearsal and in performance is a major expense for CoCCCB.  Your gift to the Pointe Shoe Fund will directly support a significant, ongoing expense that is vital to the quality of the dancers’ performances and their continuing development as artists. 

Donors to the Pointe Shoe Fund will receive the same benefits as those who have donated at the same level under our Individual Giving Program.
