un:learning — American Ice Theatre’s New World Premiere Full-Length Show
March 7-8, 2026 | Cleveland, OH
American Ice Theatre’s world premiere of this brand new full-length production features the audience seated at ice level (first come, first served upon arrival), alongside multiple performance spaces created with carpets integrated directly into the choreography.
un:learning examines the act of letting go of inherited rules — in skating, performance, and ourselves. Through movement, disruption, and collective risk, the work asks what becomes possible when we loosen control, interrupt habit, and choose curiosity over perfection.
The production includes contemporary and modern dance movement on ice, performed by professional contemporary skaters from across the United States and Canada, including Olympian, Jeremy Abbott as well as professionals from Boston, Chicago, Cleveland, Minneapolis–St. Paul, New Hampshire, California, and Toronto.

re:member — American Ice Theatre’s First Full-Length Show (2023)
A Premiere Contemporary Skating Show + Community Engagement Experience
re:member | to bring awareness to something from the past; a recollection.
Step into the ethereal ice realm of re:member, a contemporary skating performance that combines breathtaking artistry with hands-on engagement. This unique experience doesn’t end with the final bow—audiences are invited to join an open skate jam, learning how to glide and move like the performers themselves.
Performed by professional contemporary skating artists from across the United States, this innovative show fuses contemporary dance with figure skating. Skaters harness the element of glide, 3-dimensional full-body movement, spins, tricks, and innovative uses of toepicks, blades, and ice to push the boundaries of traditional skating.
