Organizations Filed Purposes: TO ENRICH THE CULTURAL DIVERSITY OF OUR CITY WHILE PROVIDING OPPORTUNITIES FOR INDIVIDUALS FROM ALL COMMUNITIES TO EXPERIENCE THE BEAUTY AND ARTISTRY OF WORLD-CLASS BALLET.

INDIANAPOLIS CITY BALLET COMPLETED ITS NINTH YEAR OF PROGRAMMING IN 2017. THE ICB'S CORE PROGRAM FROM 2016, THE ANNUAL GALA PERFORMANCE, WAS NOT REPEATED IN 2017, HOWEVER, VARIOUS FINAL EXPENSES RELATED TO THE 2016 PERFORMANCE WERE PAID IN 2017. CONDUCTED IN CONJUNCTION WITH A MASTER CLASS PROGRAM AND AN EDUCATION PROGRAM, THE ANNUAL EVENING WITH THE STARS PERFORMANCES AND MASTER CLASSES HAVE HISTORICALLY BEEN THE BASE OF A DIGITAL MEDIA EFFORT TO EXPAND THE KNOWLEDGE, UNDERSTANDING AND APPRECIATION OF THE ARTFORM OF BALLET THROUGH FREE ONLINE AND PUBLIC TELEVISION BROADCAST. A NEW PBS SPECIAL CALLED DESIGNERS OF THE DANCE BASED ON THE EVENING WITH THE STARS WAS RELEASED IN 2017 AND HAS BEEN PICKED UP BY MORE THAN 170 STATIONS NATIONALLY.

THE EIGHTH SEASON OF MASTER CLASSES WAS AN ABBREVIATED SEASON WITH SPRING CLASSES INCLUDING ZIOMARA REYES, MARTINE VAN HAMEL, KARIN AVERTY, GILLIAN MURPHY, AND SUKI SCHORER. THE OPPORTUNITY TO TAKE BALLET TECHNIQUE CLASSES WITH SOME OF THE FOREMOST SCHOOL DIRECTORS, BALLET MASTERS, TEACHERS AND DANCERS IN OPEN CLASSES HAS HAD NUMEROUS IMPACTS FROM UNITING AN OFTEN FRAGMENTED BALLET COMMUNITY IN CENTRAL INDIANA, INSPIRING AND EDUCATING STUDENTS AND MAKING POSSIBLE NUMEROUS SCHOLARSHIPS FROM SOME OF THE WORLD'S MOST PRESTIGIOUS INTERNATIONAL BALLET CONSERVATORIES.

THE ICB HELD AN INTERNATIONAL BALLET COMPETITION AGAIN IN 2017. THE INTRODUCTION OF THE INTERNATIONAL BALLET COMPETITION IN 2015 CREATED A NEW EDUCATIONAL AND CAREER DEVELOPMENT PROGRAM FOR THE MOST TALENTED YOUNG DANCERS SEEKING A CAREER IN BALLET AND CONNECTED THEM WITH DIRECTORS OF LEADING ACADEMIES AND COMPANIES WHO OFFERED SCHOLARSHIPS AND CONTRACTS. ESTABLISHING THIS PRESTIGIOUS EVENT IN INDIANAPOLIS FURTHER CONNECTED THE ORGANIZATION'S MISSION OF EDUCATION ND PUBLIC ENGAGEMENT WITH ITS DEVELOPMENT PRIORITIES OF A MORE PERMANENT PRESENCE OF PROFESSIONAL BALLET IN THE COMMUNITY.
