The New Ballet School has established new contemporary pieces to showcase in its Fast Forward program. Director Dalia Rawson has collaborated with Iranian-American freelance dancer and choreographer Keon Saghari, who has created a piece to the sounds of Farsi electronic music as a reaction to the Trump administration’s travel ban. Saghari has toured in more than 20 U.S. states, China and Israel. The program will also entail new pieces by Mads Eriksen, Naomi Sailors and Mario Barron.
