What happens when a ballet becomes a moving painting? Remi Wörtmeyer’s Significant Others draws inspiration from the bold colors, geometric forms, and multidisciplinary work of modern artist Sonia Delaunay. From vibrant, hand-painted costumes to striking circular set pieces, the ballet brings Delaunay’s ideas about color, movement, and art to life onstage. But Sonia Delaunay was more than a “significant other.” Her influence stretched across painting, fashion, textiles, theater, and design, leaving a lasting mark on the art world and inspiring artists long after her time. Discover the story behind the artist who helped inspire Significant Others and the connection between Delaunay’s work and Wörtmeyer’s ballet. Click the link in our bio to read the full story.

What if we looked beyond the love story of Romeo and Juliet to the larger forces shaping the lives of the two young people at its center? In Plagued Houses, choreographer Melissa Hough reimagines Shakespeare’s timeless tragedy through the conflict, violence, and forces surrounding its two young lovers. Set to Tchaikovsky’s powerful Fantasy-Overture, this world premiere invites audiences to experience a familiar story from an entirely new perspective. Ahead of the premiere, Hough shares how the music became the “emotional architecture” of the ballet, how collaboration helped shape its world, and what she hopes audiences will discover within the work.

It is with deep sadness that we acknowledge the passing of costume designer Sandra Woodall. Sandra was an extraordinary artist whose remarkable work touched the Atlanta Ballet family and the wider worlds of dance and theater internationally. We were incredibly fortunate to collaborate with Sandra and to bring numerous productions featuring her extraordinary work to the stage, including Yuri Possokhov’s reimagined The Nutcracker in 2018. Her designs did far more than costume our dancers and Centre for Dance Education students; they inspired audiences and performers alike. Sandra cared passionately about the dancers’ experience in her costumes, taking great pride in creating designs that made them feel beautiful, confident, and artistically connected to their roles. Through her work with Atlanta Ballet, she leaves a lasting mark on our artistic history, and we are deeply grateful for the beauty, imagination, and inspiration Sandra shared with our artists and audiences. It was a privilege to know her, collaborate with her, and bring her extraordinary vision to our stage. Her remarkable artistry and legacy will continue to live with us.

Before a single ball was kicked, before the roar of thousands filled the stadium, there was a dancer. Atlanta Ballet artist Camille-Margaret Jackson took center stage atop Mercedes-Benz Stadium as part of a FIFA World Cup 2026™ promotional film, revealing a powerful connection between two worlds often viewed separately: soccer and ballet. At their highest levels, both are driven by the same pursuit of excellence: artistry, athleticism, discipline, movement and passion. For Atlanta native Camille-Margaret Jackson, that journey began at just four years old at Atlanta Ballet’s Centre for Dance Education. Years of training, dedication and perseverance eventually led her from the Academy to Atlanta Ballet 2 and now to Atlanta Ballet’s professional company. As the world turns its attention to the athletes competing on the pitch, we’re reminded that behind every breathtaking performance, whether on a field or on a stage, is a story of preparation, sacrifice, resilience and an unwavering commitment to mastering a craft. Because excellence is earned long before anyone is watching. To read the full story, click the link in our bio. Atlanta Ballet dancer Camille-Margaret Jackson atop the Mercedes-Benz Stadium.
