Choreography
Wilson choreographed several ballets. Her first two choreographic works, Liederspiel (1978) and Fête (1979) were created on the Arlington Dance Theater (Arlington, Virginia), under the direction of Carmen Mathé (former ballerina with London Festival Ballet, National Ballet of Washington, and Ballet Chicago). She cast Ken Ludden as the lead male in both of those works. She then choreographed two ballets, Pandora's Box and Eve, in Italy for her fellow ballerina and longtime friend
Wilson's next work was "Piazza San Marco" (1983) which she choreographed for herself and Ludden. Also in 1983, Wilson appeared in the title role of Ludden's Royal Invitation: Homage to the Queen of Tonga at the Kennedy Center for the Performing Arts in Washington, DC. After that, Wilson went on to create two more works Idyll (1983) and Cheri (1985), again featuring Ludden in all but the final work. In 1986 the Riverside Dance Festival presented Dances by Sallie Wilson and Ken Ludden in which the pair presented a mixed program of works they had choreographed.
