What does architecture and ballet have in common?

Quite a lot.

The client tasked us with showcasing how the movements and lines of ballet exist in the world, too. So, in mid-November 2015, five New York City Ballet (NYCB) dancers dressed in light palettes that complemented the sleek, airy interior, turned a subway station into a pop-up performance space. The 800,000-square-foot hub inside the World Trade Center, which is open but still under construction, connects 12 rail lines and is part of the revitalization of downtown Manhattan after Sept. 11, 2001. There, the dancers improvised choreography that smoothly integrated the beams, columns and busy commuters making their way through a structure designed to resemble a bird taking flight.
