The ABT Women’s Movement

In 2018, ABT launched The ABT Women’s Movement, formerly the Women Choreographers Initiative. The program supports the creation, exploration, and staging of new works by female choreographers for ABT and ABT Studio Company. The Virginia B. Toulmin Foundation’s unstinting commitment to this initiative is deeply appreciated.

Champion support for The ABT Women’s Movement is provided by Jenna Segal.

Special thanks to Elizabeth Yntema. ABT also recognizes the generosity of all the donors who have made gifts for this initiative.

ABT RISE Advisory Council

The ABT RISE Advisory Council is an established group of trustee and non-trustee advisors, who will help to expand, re-imagine, and propel ABT’s commitment to DEI. As a collective, Advisory Council members will serve as guides and ambassadors for our ongoing efforts to improve, to learn, and to lead. ABT RISE articulates American Ballet Theatre’s belief that Representation and Inclusion will Sustain our Excellence.
