Performance


In 1987, Chamberlain Ballet performed Coppelia as its first full length work, performed at the McFarlin Auditorium on the Southern Methodist University campus.
Act III is full of joyous dancing as the village comes together to celebrate the nuptials of Swanhilda and Franz.
 

Swan Lake is Kathy Chamberlain's favorite classical ballet and she has longed for many years to have the opportunity to stage it with Chamberlain Ballet.
The White Swan act is a scene of ethereal beauty, set under moonlight at the side of the lake.
We are honored to be joined by Principal Guest Artists from
ABT & NYCB:
Hee Seo as Odette
Tyler Angle as Siegfried
 

Digital Ghost has been specially commissioned to celebrate the next 40 years of Chamberlain Ballet. 
Created by Andy Noble of NobleMotion Dance, this
World Premiere will feature the use of projection mapping and AI technology to create a visually absorbing contemporary work.
