Myrina “Renaissance” Otey-Myton is the createHER of the H.E.R. Series. She is a fashion, portrait and event photographer born and raised in St. Louis, MO. Since 2018, she’s been curating Women’s History Month events honoring black women and giving them the flowers they deserve. Her Eminent Reign: The MoveMINT is a collaborative visual project working with multiple women artists to highlight black women from the past who have made a huge impact on who we are today and have been forgotten. This exhibition focuses on recreating images of them by reimagining them in a more modern world today. We tell their stories through visual art so that people recognize the role they played in the progress of black women today. The added component to this project is that it is an NFT project leveraging digital art on the blockchain. Through the sales of these NFTs we will be donating to women and/or black owned organizations that advance women whether it be in fashion, positive birth outcomes, youth self esteem, confidence projects and homeschool cooperatives.

Event Details
Watching ballet in the intimate Grandel is a whole different experience! The company shows a different side with this series that features smaller ballets and creative, new choreography from a variety of sources. In the spring, former New York City Ballet dancer and repetiteur for the Balanchine Trust, Miriam Mahdaviani, choreographs a new ballet for the SLB dancers. Also featured are works by selected company members who are tapping into their choreography skills and setting pieces on the colleagues they know so well. Come see what’s “new” and “next”. No fancy costumes, sets or special effects. Just talent – up close and personal at the Grandel.
Organizer
Saint Louis BalletSaint Louis Ballet is a professional and innovative ballet company under the direction of former New York City Ballet principal dancer Gen Horiuchi. Comprised of 25 professional dancers from throughout the United States, Japan and Slovakia, the company presents both classic and contemporary ballets from Swan Lake and The Nutcracker to work by the renowned George Balanchine and choreographers creating new and provocative ballets for companies across the country.
