Dance Series 2
Tupelo Tornado, a World Premiere by Annabelle Lopez Ochoa
Broken Open, by Amy Seiwert – Composer/Cellist Julia Kent will play live May 3-5
Untwine, by Brennan Wall
Starshadows, by Michael Smuin
Dance Series 2 celebrates where we’ve been and where we’re going. Annabelle Lopez Ochoa takes inspiration from the life of Elvis in Tupelo Tornado, her first creation for Smuin. Amy Seiwert’s Broken Open, which the San Francisco Chronicle called “fresh, challenging, and relevant” at its 2015 premiere, returns, as well as Smuin Artist Brennan Wall’s Untwine, with its inventive and swirling lifts. Michael Smuin’s Starshadows, a dreamy piece for three couples to a Ravel score and one of his earliest works for the Company, completes the program.
