In September and October, MOVES, a collaboration between Ballett Basel in Switzerland and Seoul Ballet Theatre gave their premieres at Gwacheon Citizens Hall and the National Theater of Korea.
Combining both classical and modern dance, MOVES was a true “East meets West” experience as the artistic directors of each ballet company choreographed programs for the other.
