Viticca Ballet
Vitacca Ballet, founded in 2020 by Kelly Ann Vitacca, is a creation-driven repertoire company in the Houston area. As the pandemic brought artists home to Houston, Vitacca committed to keep artists employed and the Houston arts scene alive with project-based work. This laid the framework for the launch of Vitacca Ballet in 2021, which now works to operate a 34-week season and employ local, national, and international artists. Vitacca has had the honor to work with regional and international choreographers including Resident Choreographer, Garrett Smith, Sean Aaron Carmon, Hélène Simoneau, Robyn Mineko Williams, and Alana Jones to name a few.
LOWLINESS in Numbers
"Loneliness in numbers" explores the feeling of loneliness within a community. It shows that this emotion is found from within and is not measured by how large or small your community might be.
