Morphoses November 9, 2012

Lourdes Lopez, co-founder and executive director of Morphoses, states that "Morphoses will adopt a curatorial model in which the company will invite artists from various disciplines to take on the role of resident artist for one season, leading the company's artistic vision for that year.' This is following following the departure of founding artistic director Christopher Wheeldon. A former dancer with The Royal Ballet and soloist with New York City Ballet, choreographer Christopher Wheeldon founded Morphoses in 2007 with the goal of introducing a new spirit of innovation to classical ballet by fostering collaboration among choreographers, dancers, visual artists, designers, composers, and others who can bring new life and perspective to the dance.
