San Francisco's Alonzo King LINES Ballet leaps to uncharted heights with bold new dance innovations that break the mold of what ballet can be. LINES Ballet thrives on collaboration, pairing music from all over the globe with King's extraordinary dancers who have earned a fiercely devoted public. Alonzo King's choreography dazzles audiences by digging into the mysteries of movement and bringing honesty and urgent spirituality to the stage.

"Gripping, urgently beautiful choreography."
- San Francisco Chronicle

"The most sophisticated modernism in classical dance. The number of ballet choreographers who live - and create - solely in the present are so few that one of his distinction must be accounted the artistic equivalent of a shooting star."
- Los Angeles Times.

Pre-show lecture: presented by Anjali Austin, Associate Professor (Florida State University) This presentation will share research conducted using historical and oral history methodologies and explore specific reasons why black ballet dancers are still marginally represented in the American ballet world.
