Vacanti Ballets, a dance company based in western Massachusetts since 2012, produces and performs elaborate dance works created by artistic director Tom Vacanti. Inspired by the creative intersection of ballet and contemporary culture, Tom’s artistic vision is driven by his investigations into the traditions of ballet and the new ways to create and present ballets in a contemporary context. Vacanti Ballets makes exceptional dance theatre. Visually stunning, arresting, provocative and humorous. The work is diverse in form and content encompassing productions for the stage, site specific, new-media and installation work.
