Copland Dance Episodes Tickets

Copland Dance Episodes is a visionary ballet program created by choreographer Justin Peck for the New York City Ballet. Premiering at the David H. Koch Theater, Lincoln Center, this continuous, abstract 75-minute work is built around Copland’s Four Dance Episodes from Rodeo, complemented by selections from Appalachian Spring, Billy the Kid, and Fanfare for the Common Man as a curtain-raiser. The program features a 22-episode, mood-driven structure performed without intermission, offering a modern, non-narrative dance experience that critics have hailed as a landmark departure from Balanchine-era conventions.

Design elements bring the piece to life: a visual backdrop by Jeffrey Gibson, costumes by Ellen Warren, and lighting by Brandon Stirling Baker, all contributing to a cohesive aesthetic that Some audiences call a ballet binge watch. The work runs approximately 75 minutes and showcases impressive athleticism, musical sensitivity, and cinematic pacing that invites the audience to experience dance as a continuous narrative of mood and movement.
