Originally founded in New York City, James Sewell Ballet (JSB) has called the Twin Cities home since 1992. They are a small ensemble of eight performers, some of whom have been with the company for over fifteen years. JSB has earned itself a reputation of doing witty, virtuosic, and theatrically savvy work. Their repertoire is entirely comprised of contemporary pieces, many of which take inspiration from unusual places including Prestidigitations, a solo trilogy based on classic magic tricks and Guy Noir: The Ballet, a narrative work based on the popular radio show character on Garrison Keillor’s A Prairie Home Companion.
