The Wilmington Ballet will present “Axis: Centering the Self in Love and Life,” at 7 p.m., Sunday, April 19, at the Milton Theatre, 110 Union St., Milton.

“Axis” explores the deeply personal journey of self-discovery and the quest to find one’s emotional core. The performance is a compelling fusion of classical technique and modern narrative, serving as a moving meditation on the essential balance between the self, love and the trajectory of life.

The production features stunning new works from a diverse group of visionary choreographers including Kamani Abu, LaChelle Dickenson, Rachelle Rafailedes and Benjamin Sterling Cannon. The evening will also feature the soulful vocals of Fred Reed. 

Founded in 1956, the Wilmington Ballet has promoted excellence in dance training for over half a century. Its alumni have graced the stages of the American Ballet Theatre, New York City Ballet and Broadway.
