Frida Kahlo among the "Legendary Women" honoured by Ballet Support Foundation's original ballet
13 October 2026
"Legendary Women" is an original ballet created by eleven female choreographers and performed by principal dancers from American Ballet Theatre, New York City Ballet, and New Ballet Era. It is a tribute to 11 remarkable female leaders: Isadora Duncan, Anna Pavlova, Gabrielle Chanel, Frida Kahlo, Edith Piaf, Ella Fitzgerald, Maria Callas, Marilyn Monroe, Audrey Hepburn, Ruth Bader Ginsburg, and Serena & Venus Williams.
Brainchild of BSF Founder Lola Abigail Koch declared, “We are dedicated to giving dancers and choreographers opportunities to work. "Legendary Women" honors the women who inspire the choreographers and performers, and whose artistry and accomplishments continue to influence us.”
"Legendary Women", including Anna Pavlova, will be presented at New York Live Arts March 24–27, 2027, before touring throughout the United States the following year and Europe the year after. For more information or to purchase tickets, follow the link below.
