“We have created a new repertoire with an incredibly talented group of skaters,” said Douglas Webster, IDI Founder, and Artistic Director. “Grace is a theatrical journey on ice with dynamic athletic movement that showcases beautiful artistic ensemble skating. The choreography and music, combined with the ability of our powerful skaters promise to transport the audience.”

Grace celebrates the art of dance on ice and features works by choreographers from the 2022 Olympic games, including Benoit Richaud, Rohene Ward, and Cindy Stuart, the leading choreographer for Disney on Ice. Webster created Grace with the support of Spruce Peak Performing Arts Center in Stowe, VT, the New England Foundation for the Arts, and Strawbery Banke Museum in Portsmouth, NH.
