Elements Contemporary Ballet is a Chicago-based performing arts company that blends classical ballet technique with contemporary choreography to create new works. Founded in 2005 by Artistic Director Mike Gosney and Managing Director Joseph Caruana, the company stages an annual season and engages in collaborative projects and festivals, presenting work that spans collaborations with up-and-coming choreographers from notable companies. Its repertoire builds around a thematic framework inspired by the four elements—fire, earth, air, and water—emphasizing expression, physicality, focus, and freedom in its productions. The organization participates in regional and city-wide programs and venues, including the Athenaeum Theatre and event series and festivals that support contemporary ballet and dance innovation in Chicago. Based in Chicago, Elements Contemporary Ballet operates with a small team and continues to develop large-scale, multi-choreographer projects and new contemporary ballet suites.
