PointeWorks

PointeWorks Passion. Creativity. Dedication to the art. With a special emphasis on female choreographers.

POINTEWORKS is a new repertory dance company in San Diego, celebrating the unheard voices of ballet. Coming June 2024, our vision is to create a platform to bring balance to the kinds of voices that are represented in classical and contemporary works.

What energy do you bring to a room?

Choreographer Hélène Simoneau brings a grounded openness.

During the creation of Where No Storms Come, process turned into flow. Standing barefoot on the Marley floor, Hélène tapped into the dancers energies, the evocation of the music, and leaned on her collaborator and composer Katie Jenkins .

During an interview, Katie shared more about the collaborative process of this ballet saying “It was really an amazing collaboration. She [Hélène] didn’t overly prepare and I mean that in the best way. She was building it in the room. And she would ask me ‘what do you think about this’ or ‘what about this’. And because of that, the musicians were watching the dancers, and we were building things in real time together. That allowed us to focus on feeling and emotion.”

This openness to collaboration in real time built the grounds of a truly remarkable, truly original ballet.

See its stage debut with live music October 18 at the stunning Balboa Theatre.

One might say… electric ⚡️

Excerpt from Spillover by the one and only Keerati Jinakunwiphat - created and debuted in June 2026.

Incredible and expressive dancers Isabella Seo and brothers Marcos Ramirez and Angel Ramirez

Music by award-winning composer Katya Richardson

Original costumes by the fabulous designer Susan Roemer / S-Curve Apparel & Design

This contemporary ballet is set in three parts all brought together through the theme of emotional regulation. Using ballet foundations, Keerati melds contemporary movement with technicality to create seamless yet complex sequences that seem to mesmerize.

Keerati’s connection to composer Katya started the works’ initial spark and cultivated a close connection between music and choreography. The two came together creating a truly unique and innovative Pointeworks commission.
