GERALD R. FORD AMPHITHEATER

Over the past two decades under the leadership of Artistic Director Damian Woetzel, the Vail Dance Festival has become a stage where bold new music and dance meet the moment, now—presenting over 130 original works by some of the world’s most cutting-edge voices in contemporary choreography. This evening marks the 20th anniversary of Woetzel’s extraordinary artistic vision with a collection of new works created in collaboration with Festival artists, featuring daring choreography and a remarkable ensemble of dancers and musicians from across genres. Choreographers will include 2026 Artist-In-Residence Alexei Ratmansky, Robert Battle, Larry Keigwin, Tiler Peck, Pam Tanowitz, and first time Festival choreographers Chun Wai Chan and Amanda Treiber.
