The Center for Ballet and the Arts at New York University (CBA) is an international institute for scholars and artists of ballet and its related arts and sciences. It exists to inspire new ideas and ballets, expanding the way we think about ballet and bringing vitality to its history, practice, and performance in the 21st century. Core activities include CBA’s Fellowship Program and public events. The CBA Fellowship provides resources and financial support for the development of original artistic and scholarly work on ballet and its related arts. The Center’s public events create a forum for ballet and the arts through events, lectures, and conversations, expanding the existing dialogue and offering a space for collaboration between scholars and artists.
