On February 23, 2024, Moveius Contemporary Ballet performs in the renowned Atlas Performing Arts’ Intersections Festival. Voices from Within features five restaged and debut works from female choreographers Jenelle Figgins, Diana Movius, Asami Seki, and Elizabeth Watson. As their pieces explore ideas we all face – identity, friendship, competition, joy – audiences are invited to experience movement as a canvas to amplify diverse voices. Driven by the company’s ethos, Moveius is proud to showcase female choreographers in our repertoire and work towards closing ballet’s gender gap. Ahead of the performance, we’re highlighting these incredible voices and their work in creating the pieces that comprise Voices from Within. Purchase tickets to the show here.

Elizabeth Watson premiered Shortfall at Moveius’ 2023 fall show. A diminishing availability of essentials—be it food, time, money, or rights—exposes the fraying of our social fabric; Shortfall delves into the complex interplay of scarcity and our relationships through a child's game of musical chairs, powerful and percussive movements, and the driving music of Maurice Ravel’s Bolero. Listen to a clip of our interview with Elizabeth Watson below!
