Wonderlab
with Wonderbound Artists
November 14 – 16, 2019
Resident within the Wonderbound family is a collection of established and aspiring choreographers. Wonderlab is a vital component in advancing their craft. This program will provide a unique platform for their artistic development through the creation of four world-premiere works.
The 2019 edition of Wonderlab will feature new choreography by Associate Choreographer Sarah Tallman and Company Artists Deanna Lefton, Henry Maximilian McCall and Morgan Sicklick.
Syria Draws, Promoting Syrian Artwork
In partnership with Leon Gallery, Syrian artwork will be displayed and available for purchase during Wonderlab, at this three-day event.
The artwork tells a powerful story by looking through the eyes of displaced Syrian artists in the U.S. and abroad. Bios and pictures from the gallery can be found on www.syriadraws.com.
Featured artists include Tammam Jaramni, May Attasi, Etab Hreb, Essa Neima, and Nas Nouilati.

This was followed by a move across the country to work and study at the Pacific Northwest Ballet, in their Professional Division Program, under Peter Boal. While there, he performed in Balanchine's A Midsummer Night’s Dream and Kent Stowell’s The Nutcracker, while also working with choreographers such as Crystal Pite. Since then, he moved back across the country to study in, and graduate from, the Ailey/Fordham BFA program in the class of 2018. While in New York City, he spent time freelancing with various artists and companies including being an apprentice with Ailey II. He joined Wonderbound after graduation for the 2018-2019 season.
