At eighteen, she moved to New York City to attend The Ailey School, graduating from their scholarship program in 2018. Since moving to New York to pursue her dance career, Aurélie has performed with companies such as the Alvin Ailey American Dance Theater, Ballet Hispanico, MOMIX, OCA Dance, Alison Cook Beatty Dance, and others.

CALVIN ROYAL III is an acclaimed internationally recognized Principal Dancer with American Ballet Theatre. After starting ballet at age 14, he gained recognition as a finalist in the Youth America Grand Prix in New York City, which led to a scholarship to ABT’s Jacqueline Kennedy Onassis School. His subsequent growth earned him a position with ABT II (Now ABT Studio Company) in 2008 and ABT Main Company in 2010--receiving nominations for the Clive Barnes Award and the Leonore Annenberg Fellowship. Calvin has performed star turns worldwide including ABT’s annual seasons at Lincoln Center for the Performing Arts - as the title role in George Balanchine's Apollo, Prince Siegfried in Swan Lake, Romeo in Romeo and Juliet, The Prince in Alexei Ratmansky's The Nutcracker, Count Albrecht in Giselle, and has worked with notable choreographers such as Twyla Tharp, Justin Peck, Benjamin Millepied, Alonzo King, Mark Morris, Wayne McGreggor, Kyle Abraham, Michelle Dorrance, Jamar Roberts, and many more.

At the age of four she was chosen to train in rhythmic gymnastics and ballet at an Olympic School. At the age of seven, she immigrated to the United States and trained for nine years at Pennsylvania Ballet’s Rock School. Christine danced the children’s lead in Pennsylvania Ballet’s The Nutcracker for three years, and was featured in the NBC special Degas and the Dance. In 2002 she was invited to perform with International Ballet Theatre Company’s Stars of Kirov, Bolshoi and Ukrainian Ballet in Annapolis, Maryland.

In 2003, Christine became the youngest recipient of the Princess Grace Award.

Other awards include the Bronze Medal in the USA International Ballet Competition in Jackson, Mississippi, 2005 Gold Medal and Title of Laureate at the Moscow International Ballet Competition, the George Zoritch of Ballet Russe Award for Talent Recognition and the 2010 Margaret Moore Dance Award.

Christine joined American Ballet Theatre’s Studio Company in August 2006 where

she performed classical and contemporary pieces. She was asked to join American Ballet Theatre as an apprentice in December 2007 and the corps de ballet in June 2008. She became a Soloist in 2014 and a Principal Dancer in September 2017.

She has danced leading and soloist roles from Don Quixote, The Sleeping Beauty, Swan Lake, Le Corsaire, Giselle, The Nutcracker, Harlequinade, The Flames of Paris, Grand Pas Classique, Paquita, La Bayadère, and Balanchine works and more. She has had numerous roles created on her including in AfterEffect, Everything Doesn’t Happen at Once, Praedicere, Private Light, and Songs of Bukovina and also performed various contemporary pieces by world renowned choreographers that included Caprice #1, a competition piece created for her by Benjamin Millepied. She has a vast repertoire of dancing leading and soloist roles.

She has worked with world-renowned choreographers like Alexei Ratmansky, Twyla Tharp, Benjamin Millipied, Christopher Wheeldon, Alonzo King, and many more.

CHRISTIAN BURSE was born in Austin, Texas where she began her dance journey at the age of two years old. She completed her early dance training at Joyce Willet and RISE Dance Company where she received a diverse dance education.

She continued her dance training at Booker T. Washington High School for the Performing and Visual Arts in Dallas, Texas, and Dance Industry Performing Arts Center. She was named a U.S. Presidential Scholar Finalist, National YoungArts Foundation winner, and a Texas Young Master. Christian began her professional career at 17 years old as a company member of Complexions Contemporary Ballet. To date, she has performed across the U.S. and internationally in Israel, Germany, and Europe.

MARIA KOCHETKOVA was born in Moscow in 1984 and trained at the Bolshoi Ballet Academy. After graduating and winning the prestigious Prix de Lausanne ballet competition in 2002, she became an apprentice with the Royal Ballet in London. From 2007 to 2018, she served as a principal dancer with the San Francisco Ballet and held a principal position at the American Ballet Theatre in New York from 2015 to 2017.

Throughout her career, she has also guested with esteemed companies including Teatro alla Scala in Milan, Teatro Colón in Buenos Aires, Tokyo Ballet, Ballet Nacional de Cuba, Semperoper in Dresden, Staatsballett Berlin, the Norwegian National Ballet, Rome Opera, Royal Danish Ballet, National Ballet of Canada, and Hong Kong Ballet.

In addition to performing the entire classical repertoire, she has showcased her technical versatility through close collaborations with choreographers such as Ella Rothschild, Marcos Morau, Benjamin Millepied, Drew Jacoby, Lilliana Barros, William Forsythe, Jerome Bel, Sebastian Kloborg, Julian Nicosia, and David Dawson. Through this work, she has established herself as an artist dedicated to exploring the future significance and role of ballet and dance. In recognition of her contributions, she was invited in 2019 to curate the program Catch Her If You Can at The Joyce Theatre in New York.

In Denmark, she has recently participated in both the Chamber Ballet and Copenhagen Summer Dance as well as guesting with the Royal Danish Ballet and in March of this year, she performed at the Glyptoteket alongside the dance company La Veronal.

DANIIL SIMKIN was born in Novosibirsk, Russia, in 1987, the son of acclaimed ballet dancers Dmitrij Simkin and Olga Aleksandrova. His family moved to Western Europe in 1990 and took residence in Wiesbaden, Germany, where Daniil grew up.

After graduating academic high school in Germany, Daniil joined the Vienna State Opera Ballet as a demi-soloist in 2006 and also began his career as a guest performer around the world. In 2008, he joined American Ballet Theatre as a soloist and was subsequently promoted to principal dancer in 2012. He since then has danced most major classical and neoclassical roles in the company’s repertoire.

In his professional career, Daniil has performed throughout North and South America, Asia, and the Middle East. In 2015, together with The Joyce Theater in New York, Daniil spearheaded and produced an evening of contemporary original choreography called INTENSIO, which toured the United States and internationally. This was followed in 2017 by a production of a multi-disciplinary dance installation at the Guggenheim Museum in New York which involved generative video projections and costumes by Dior.

Diorama, 2020, a co-production with Staatsballett Berlin, was a dance film conceived at the height of the pandemic with long-time partner Maria Kochetkova.

The film received an award for "best screendance film under 10 minutes" at the 2021 San Francisco Dance Film Festival. In 2021, Simkin founded the production company Studio Simkin to explore and develop dance opportunities for the next era with the highest production value and artistic standard, encouraging ballet to evolve within a digital environment and for new forums.

RONALD K. BROWN/ EVIDENCE, A DANCE COMPANY, founded by Ronald K. Brown in 1985 and based in Brooklyn, New York, focuses on the seamless integration of traditional African dance with contemporary choreography and spoken word.

Through work, EVIDENCE provides a unique view of human struggles, tragedies, and triumphs. Brown uses movement as a way to reinforce the importance of community in African American culture and to acquaint audiences with the beauty of traditional African forms and rhythms. He is an advocate for the growth of the African American dance community and is instrumental in encouraging young dancers to choreograph and to develop careers in dance.

Brown’s choreography is in high demand. He has set works on Alvin Ailey American Dance Theater, Ailey II, Cleo Parker Robinson Ensemble, Dayton Contemporary Dance Company, Jennifer Muller/The Works, Jeune Ballet d’Afrique Noire, Ko-Thi Dance Company, Philadanco, and others. He choreographed Regina Taylor’s award-winning play, Crowns and won an AUDELCO Award for his work on that production. “I hope that when people see the work, their spirits are lifted.

I am interested in sharing perspectives through modern dance, theater and kinetic storytelling. I want my work to be evidence of these perspectives,” says Brown.

EVIDENCE now tours to some 25 communities in the United States and abroad.

The company has traveled to Cuba, Brazil, England, France, Greece, Hungary, Ireland, Mexico, Senegal, Nigeria, South Africa, and Canada to perform, teach master classes, and conduct lecture/demonstrations for individuals of all ages.

EVIDENCE brings arts education and cultural connections to local communities that have historically lacked these experiences. Annually the company reaches an audience of more than 25,000.

ABOUT THE JOYCE THEATER FOUNDATION The Joyce Theater Foundation ("The Joyce," Executive Director, Linda Shelton), a nonprofit organization, has proudly served the dance community for more than four decades. Under the direction of founders Cora Cahan and Eliot Feld, Ballet Tech Foundation acquired and The Joyce renovated the Elgin Theater in Chelsea. Opening as The Joyce Theater in 1982, it was named in honor of Joyce Mertz, beloved daughter of LuEsther T. Mertz. It was LuEsther’s clear, undaunted vision and abundant generosity that made it imaginable and ultimately possible to build the theater. Ownership was secured by The Joyce in 2015. The theater is one of the only theaters built by dancers for dance and has provided an intimate and elegant home for over 475 U.S.-based and international companies. The Joyce has also expanded its reach beyond its Chelsea home through off-site presentations at venues ranging in scope from Lincoln Center’s David H. Koch Theater, to Brooklyn’s Invisible Dog Art Center, and to outdoor programming in spaces such as Hudson River Park. To further support the creation of new work, The Joyce maintains longstanding commissioning and residency programs. Local students and teachers (1st–12th grade) benefit from its school program, and family and adult audiences get closer to dance with access to artists.

The Joyce’s annual season of about 48 weeks of dance now includes over 300 performances for audiences of over 100,000. Visit Joyce.org for more information.

FUNDERS Many Thanks to The Joyce's Institutional Funders for Keeping Us Moving Forward An abundance of gratitude to Senate Majority Leader Charles E. Schumer, Senator Kirsten Gillibrand, Representative Jerrold Nadler, and Representative Nydia M. Velázquez for their visionary leadership that established the Shuttered Venue Operators Grant program, which made the reopening of The Joyce Theater in 2021 and the reemergence of many dance companies possible.

ABOUT THE JOYCE THEATER FOUNDATION VISION STATEMENT

LAND ACKNOWLEDGEMENT

The Joyce Theater Foundation is committed to fostering and supporting a diverse and inclusive environment, both on and off stage. We embrace and celebrate diversity in all its forms, and value the rich experiences and perspectives that arise from differences in race, ethnicity, socio-economic status, religion, age, sexual orientation, gender identity and expression, and cognitive and physical ability.

The Joyce Theater operates on the Lenape island of Manhahtaan (Mannahatta) and acknowledges that it was founded upon the stolen land and erasure of many Indigenous communities. This acknowledgement demonstrates our institution’s commitment to the process of dismantling the legacies of colonialism and cultural imperialism.

We strive to counteract the social injustices and racism that exist within our communities, our nation, and our world. Our aim as an organization is to embody the principles of diversity, equity, inclusion, and justice.

To achieve this, we will: • Create and implement proactive diversity, equity, inclusion, and justice initiatives; • Establish and maintain a culture of safe sharing, intentional listening, learning, and growth;

We acknowledge the ongoing violence towards Indigenous people through systemic inequality. We pay our respect to the Indigenous peoples who lived and continue to live upon this land, and whose rich history, artistic practices, and spirituality are tied to this land. It is within our responsibility as a cultural institution and our commitment to diversity and inclusion to embody a commitment to Indigenous rights and cultural equity.

• Engage with and support disenfranchised communities by sharing information and resources and ensuring accessibility;

We sincerely invite you as an audience member to take a moment to reflect on the history and legacy of displacement, migration, and settlement.

• Develop metrics and conduct regular reviews of our programs and policies to hold ourselves accountable and shift as neededs.

It is our intention to work with local Native American arts councils to better inform our land acknowledgment practices and anticipate that it will evolve over time.

With these goals in place and our Vision Statement in mind, we are dedicated to the continued learning and growth needed to foster an inclusive environment for all. This is an ongoing process and by nature will be an evolving statement.
