Pioneer Winter Collective - Apollo

Apollo is a dance-theater work that explores intergenerational queer dynamics, memory, HIV/AIDS, and legacy. Blending dance, theater, and queer history, the piece reimagines Greek mythology’s Apollo and Balanchine’s 1928 ballet through lived queer experience. Instead of Muses, Apollo encounters three queer elders—past iterations of himself—who challenge, guide, and reflect him. Together, they navigate mentorship, community, and the body as an archive of memory and survival. By confronting ageism and honoring queer legacies, Apollo celebrates connection across generations and redefines who gets to be seen and celebrated on stage.

AMPLIFY ARTS is a new Broward Center initiative which aims to support and elevate local artists and emerging arts organizations with the goal of helping them reach a wider audience and develop their skills as professional presenters. There will be opportunities for South Florida artists in a wide variety of performing arts genres to bring their talents to Broward Center venues throughout the year.

In the 2025/2026 season, the Broward Center’s AMPLIFY ARTS initiative is made possible by Wayne and Lucretia Weiner, Baptist Health and TD Charitable Foundation.
