Chamber Dance Project returns to Woolly Mammoth Theatre Company for its highly anticipated June Season–the last under the leadership of Founding Artistic Director Diane Coburn Bruning. Across four evenings, audiences are immersed in a world where contemporary ballet and live music unfold in intimate proximity, surrounding the viewer with sound, movement, and human connection. This landmark program features four acclaimed pieces from Chamber Dance Project’s extensive repertoire, plus a world premiere. Each piece will bring you on a distinct sensory and emotional journey.

Chant, choreographed by Bruning and Andile Ndlovu, opens on a resonant landscape of live Gregorian chant, forming a cathedral of sound, movement, and light that envelops and enraptures the audience. 

Ramblin’ Suite, commissioned by Atlanta Ballet and choreographed by Bruning, is a rousing, high-energy collaboration for 12 dancers, set to music composed and performed by Tony Award–winning string and bluegrass band The Red Clay Ramblers. 

A standout from our 2024 Season, Book of Stones, choreographed by Christian Denice, draws audiences into an atmospheric, ritual-like experience, set to original music by Jack Herrick and Bland Simpson of The Red Clay Ramblers, with vocalist Skyler Herrick’s haunting Kulning vocals. 

The evening also marks the return of Berceuse, Bruning’s beloved duet, first presented in 1994, that delivers a moment of quiet intimacy and sculptural beauty.

The program concludes with the world premiere of Murmur by resident choreographer at Pittsburgh Ballet Theatre William Moore.

Join us after the final performance for our annual Summer Solstice Party– the culmination of a program celebrates Diane’s singular vision and the profound impact of her leadership on the company and the dance community.
