NEXT UP! 

Don’t miss NEXT UP!, a unique and intimate choreographic showcase celebrating the raw beauty of dance. Set in the new Black Box Theatre at St. John Fisher University, the evening features all-new works by an all-female lineup of choreographers, including an exciting new creation by acclaimed choreographer Gabrielle Lamb for Rochester City Ballet.

Alongside Lamb’s premiere, audiences will experience innovative pieces by RCB Artistic Directors Megan Kamler and Shannon Purpura, as well as former Rochester City Ballet dancer Francesca Genovese, each highlighting the creativity and versatility of RCB dancers. With minimal sets and costumes, the focus remains on the pure artistry of movement—bringing audiences up close to the emotion, energy, and storytelling that make dance so powerful. This is an evening not to be missed for dance lovers and anyone seeking a fresh, inspiring performance experience.
