Don’t miss MOVEIUS Contemporary Ballet’s return to the National Portrait Gallery!

DIANA MOVIUS PRESENTS HER THIRD commissioned work as the NPG’s choreographer-in-residence, marquee

Sunday, August 4th at 4:00 pm in the Kogod Courtyard

Inspired by the Portrait Gallery’s exhibition Star Power: Photographs from Hollywood’s Golden Age by George Hurrell, this bold, contemporary ballet dives into the not-so-effortless art of looking effortless. Marquee peels back the glittering facade of stardom and reveals the sweat, retakes, and chaotic mischief behind every flawless finish.
