STL Dance Theatre Fall Series

Saint Louis Dance Theatre's 2026-2027 landmark lineup opens with a powerful trio of world premieres by renowned creatives. Kirven Douthit-Boyd, STLDT Artistic Director and former dancer with Alvin Ailey American Dance Theater, molds various movement genres to create bold narratives that transform and inspire audiences. Rena Butler, a Princess Grace Award winner (2019) and Isadora Duncan Dance Award recipient, has been described as percussive and emotionally direct in her choreography, which spans the globe. Keerati Jinakunwiphat, a Princess Grace Award winner (2023) and the first Asian woman commissioned by New York City Ballet, emphasizes connectivity – work built on relationships between dancers. The weekend serves as a world-class sampler of what is to come in STLDT’s next chapter.
