SHE'S A REAL GLAMOURINA
BalletRED is a creative sanctuary dedicated to creating cutting-edge multidisciplinary contemporary ballet works. The BalletRED spectacular is not to be mistaken for a dance concert, but rather an extraordinary display of uninhibited imagination intersecting the arts.
BalletRED's distinctive hybrid style of edgy classical and contemporary ballet fusion is represented by her signature one heel one pointe shoe trademark, along with the dynamic collaboration with composer Paul Rivera, aerialists, b-boys, hip-hop, musicians, visual artists, fashion and multimedia designers. BalletRED, with a firm finger on the pulse, is current and culturally relevant.
"I love the fusion... IT HAD EVERYTHING!"
- DEREK HOUGH - Emmy Award Winning Choreographer

MAKING A MARK
"Steamy, sensuous and seriously high-flying - in every sense of the word - with gorgeous aerial ballets, cutting edge choreography and BREATHTAKING VISUALS guaranteed to stimulate the senses."
- VICTORIA LOOSELEAF - Los Angeles Times and Freelance Arts Journalist
"THE STRANGEST, MOST AWESOME BALLET VIDEO EVER - When this video by Jealous Angel popped up on my news feed today, I was intrigued. I mean, it's called, "Get UR Ballet On." It's so strange, yet so awesome. It's basically a mix of Twilight, risqué ballerinas and rock music. Here are some of my favorite lyrics: 'Get your ballet on, get your ballet on, get your ballet on - brisé, volé!' And let's not forget: 'Chassé piqué brisé volé...chassé piqué...fouetté fouetté!'
Awesome, right? What's even more awesome are the dancers - the girls perform the entire video in
ONE POINTE SHOE AND ONE STILETTO!
Choreographed by Josie Walsh, who has danced with The Joffrey Ballet, Zurich Ballet and Oregon Ballet Theatre, the movement is super-technical and well-executed."
- DANCE SPIRIT MAGAZINE - Review
"Josie Walsh is one of the most vital, talented, and original artists in her field of choreography and dance today. She CONSTANTLY AMAZES."
- ELLIOTT GOULD - Actor
"Fusing aerial acrobatics and gymnastics with edgy pointe work best described as EXTREME BALLET," Los Angeles-based artistic director/choreographer Josie Walsh creates mini-Vegas-like extravaganzas with her six-year-old BalletRED, formerly MyoKyo Productions. A former Joffrey Ballet and Zurich Ballet dancer, Walsh has an additional weapon in her creative arsenal: Husband Paul Rivera fronts an industrial rock band, Kyo, grinding out guitar licks perched on a pair of stilts. This spring in Hollywood, her 20-member troupe performs The Garden of Reason, a 'non-linear journey through the mind.' Walsh, who also teaches and is choreographing Tinker Bell for Disney, says, 'We're dance-based but use circus arts to enhance choreographic opportunities - and to DEFY GRAVITY.'"
- VICTORIA LOOSELEAF - Dance Magazine
"Multidisciplinary, HIGH ENERGY 'Avalon' is an onstage stadium spectacle... big ambitions and plenty of talent to realize them."
- LEWIS SEGAL - L.A. Times Dance Critic
"Sometimes, a rose is just a rose. On Saturday night at the Granada, though, a rose was much more. For the world premiere performance of director/choreographer Josie Walsh's The Secret Garden, State Street Ballet brought Frances Hodgson Burnett's classic novel to life with a swirling mix of stylistic, sonic, and VISUAL DICHOTOMIES THAT WORKED TOGETHER TO STUNNING EFFECT. ...It is rare to find a show that has both shades of ministry and Cirque Du Soleil, but BalletRED formerly MyoKyo Productions has successfully blended elements of industrial hard rock and acrobatic aerials in a refreshing dance performance that offers a unique interpretation of the journey of humankind since the Garden of Eden."
- LA WEEKLY - Theater Critics
"THIS IS HOT. Like Cirque du Soleil, only sexier."
- JILLIAN BARBERIES - Dood Day Live
"Garden of Reason" an edgy amalgam of dance theatrics and progressive rock performance was NOTHING SHORT OF AMAZING. I found myself rocking without guilt, and admiring the provocative, very original choreography from the dance/acrobatics BalletRED, formerly MyoKyo Productions."
- AARON STIPKOVICH - Publisher/CEO Buzzine Magazine

SECRET GARDEN
Get your BalletRED ON
Director/Choreographer: Josie Walsh | Music: Jealous Angel
Garden of Reason is a riveting, cutting-edge performance that fuses ancient myths into an urban reality with all its sin, lust, love and hate. Told through high energy dancing, acrobatic aerialists defying gravity, and the renegade Industrial band KYO™ performing on stilts, Garden of Reason transcends contemporary dance, drama and music, creating a stage phenomenon. Garden of Reason plays out a metaphor on the Garden of Eden. The theme explores what it is to be human, and questions whether temptation, whether good or evil, might not be the motivation that compels humans to an expanded awareness by forcing the development of reason. Directed and choreographed by Josie Walsh, and features her dancers, aerialist Ingrid Hoffman, and live industrial music by KYO™.
GARDEN OF REASON
AVALON
Director/Choreographer: Josie Walsh | Music: Jealous Angel
Experience the magic of Avalon. Redefining theater experience by creating a world of colliding opposites. Avalon weaves Arthurian folklore into urban reality, with all it’s love, lust, hate, and good vs. evil. The audience follows an ensemble cast of actors, dancers, aerialists, and musicians through a vision quest. The quest for the ultimate answers experienced directly through the many different art forms. Communicating an energy more than an idea, and allowing the audience to feel their own conclusion.
CINAMATIC FUSION
GONE WITH THE WHIM
Director/Choreographer: Josie Walsh | Music: Jealous Angel
Gone with the Whim is a cutting edge parody of Margaret Mitchell’s classic novel, Gone with the Wind. Told through high energy dancing, beautiful aerial ballets, song, and theatrics, all set to original scores by the live renegade, stilt-walking rock band KYO™ (formerly SURVE). Follow our modern-day heroine, “Starlett”, who taunted by a division of self, must find a way to reconcile with “Star” her alter ego. She is joined in this journey by “Olivia”, the angel in Limbo between heaven and earth; “Leslie”, Olivia’s husband, and the man for whom Starlett pines, and of course, “Clark”, Starlett’s husband and true love and nemesis. Let us venture with Starlett, in her evolution from a vain, petulant, silly girl of whimsy, to a woman of great strength. She must survive the perils of war, the heartache of unrequited love, and avoid the social net of conformity cast by the Illuminati-Media conspiracy… in so doing, she’ll liberate the star within.
Director/Choreographer: Josie Walsh | Music: Jealous Angel
Image-Nation is a riveting, cutting edge quest for personal freedom, understanding and wisdom. Wrought with conspiracy, propaganda, illusions, psychological indoctinations and corporate slavery. We venture with an extraordinary ensemble of aerialists, acrobats, martial artists, ballerinas, hip-hop dancers, actors and singers through a rigorous maze confronting timeless themes of war and peace, conformity and freedom, heart and mind and the space that exists between. The ultimate battle for truth through the seductive veils of illusion we bring you Image-Nation.
