About us
Ethno Contemporary Ballet literally means "the ballet of the modern people". In its theatrical and dance art, it explores the system of symbols, permeated with references to daily rituals and ceremonial rites, reflecting the deep worldview of people, combining authentic music with modern interpretations and images.
The troupe was founded in 2018 by Vadym Yesaulenko and Nina Bulgakova as a private dance theater in Kharkiv, Ukraine. All our experiments, ideas, research work and efforts to find new artistic principles in dance for many years led to creation of Ethno Contemporary Ballet troupe. The team was created as a platform for experiments. Boldly using elements and connecting the unconnected in the dance into a single structure that is free from the historical influence.
Repertoire
Ethno Contemporary Ballet has experience working with a variety of musical material: classical music, authentic folklore and reworked, both to the soundtrack and with live orchestras, groups and performers.
