Texture Contemporary Ballet
Texture Contemporary Ballet presents original Texture choreography by Alan Obuzor and Kelsey Bartman. Works include excerpts from “Infinity,” “Outro,” “Hydroplaning Flower,” “Another Story,” and “The Pulse of Time.” Come see our dancers take ballet beyond the realms of classical ballet. Join us to bring in the New Year with an evening of innovation, energy, passion, beauty, attitude, quirkiness, and, above all, fun!
Texture Contemporary Ballet is based in Pittsburgh PA, and was founded in 2011 by Artistic Director Alan Obuzor.
Texture is comprised of classically trained professional ballet dancers who have danced and trained at some of the top ballet companies and schools in America. Dancers are brought together on a project basis to create and present predominantly contemporary and neo-classical work.
Texture strives to inspire dancers, teachers, directors, choreographers, audience members, and artists of every kind by presenting ballet in an innovative way. We believe it is important to break through preconceived notions that people may hold while witnessing ballet for the first time. Yet, simultaneously, Texture fulfills the expectations of frequent theatergoers and those who are deeply submerged in the dance world. Therefore, Texture is both unique and inviting, while still upholding standards of technique and presentation.
In the studio and on the stage, we try to create a supportive environment where all artists – whether dancers, choreographers, musicians, or designers – can thrive, grow, and learn from each other. It is through this community of shared passion, energy, and encouragement that Texture is able to create and present such cohesive, yet multi-faceted, performances that move audience members and ignite or foster an appreciation of dance.
