Cincinnati Ballet

Welcome to the 2026-2027 Season! Here’s a sneak peek at the local artists that will be involved with the creation of The Kaplan New Works Series.

The Kaplan New Works Series opens September 18-26, 2026 and will consist of four world-premiere works. Two of those will be inspired by the works of local artists Gee Horton and Michael Stillion. We had the pleasure of sitting down with them at the Contemporary Arts Center to get a look into their artistic style, inspirations, and how they think their art can translated into movement. Their exhibitions are on display at the Cincinnati Contemporary Arts Center through August 30, 2026.
