Dance Theatre of Harlem (DTH) has a long tradition of collaborating with visual artists, including Richard Barcliff, Geoffrey Holder, Hilary Knight, and Artis Lane among others, to help bring ballets to life beyond the stage.
Firebird- A DTH Signature Classic From MotionMami Animation
For the 2026 New York City season April 16th thru 19th at New York City Center , DTH invited artist Marlene Marmolejos—aka MotionMami—to visually interpret the story of the DTH signature classic Firebird. Through vibrant animation, she offers her take on the mythical bird of resilience, transformation, and hope—themes that have lived at the heart of this ballet for more than 40 years.
