ERA: Emerging and Resident Artists

A Creative Laboratory for Contemporary Dance & Innovation

Experience ERA, a dynamic collection of world-premiere contemporary works created exclusively for Tampa City Ballet by internationally recognized choreographers.

Conceived as a creative laboratory for innovation and collaboration, ERA brings artists from leading cultural centers to Tampa to develop bold new works—offering audiences access to the kind of cutting-edge contemporary performance typically experienced in major arts communities, now happening right here in Tampa Bay.

Designed for both longtime arts lovers and first-time audiences, ERA invites viewers into an engaging journey through movement, storytelling, and creative exploration. Blending contemporary dance, multimedia elements, and visually immersive theatricality, the program expands beyond traditional ballet into something immediate, powerful, and deeply human.
