INTERVIEW: Christine Cox, co-founder and Artistic and Executive Director of BalletX, Philadelphia’s premier contemporary ballet company, which she founded alongside choreographer Matthew Neenan in 2005. In two decades of leadership, Cox has built BalletX into one of the most distinctive forces in contemporary ballet, producing over 150 world premiere works by more than 80 choreographers and performing at venues like Jacob’s Pillow, New York City Center and The Joyce Theater.
She’s here ahead of the Festival at Highmark Mann in Philadelphia, June 4th and 5th, featuring the world premiere of The Four Seasons Reimagined — an epic love letter to Mother Nature, with composer and electronic music innovator Dan Deacon and four world-renowned choreographers take on each season: Morgann Runacre-Temple Summer, Penny Saunders Fall, Jamar Roberts Winter, and Trey McIntyre Spring.
Before founding BalletX, Cox was a member of Pennsylvania Ballet — now Philadelphia Ballet — for over a decade. Today we’re talking about her work at BalletX, what it takes to build a contemporary ballet company from the ground up, and what’s coming next.
