Dance Series 2 (Presented by Smuin Contemporary Ballet)

  • Blue Shield of California Theater at YBCA 700 Howard Street San Francisco, CA, 94103 United States (map)

A female dancer wearing shorts, a cropped top and a white blouse, balances on pointe shoes. She slightly leans backward while her gaze lifts to teh sky. The text reads Smuin Contemporary Ballet, Amy Seiwert Artistic Director.

Exciting premieres and old favorites define Dance Series 2. Artistic Director Amy Seiwert creates a World Premiere, her 13th ballet for the Company. Trey McIntyre returns to Smuin with the Bay Area premiere of his Wild Sweet Love, an ode to the ups and downs of love set to a range of music from Mendelssohn to Queen. McIntyre’s “fertility of invention and modernity of spirit” (The New York Times) is no stranger to Smuin, and we’re delighted to add another of his ballets to our repertory. Completing the program is a pair of favorites: Michael Smuin’s Rodin-inspired The Eternal Idol, originally choreographed for American Ballet Theatre superstars Cynthia Gregory and Ivan Nagy and Smuin Alum Rex Wheeler’s spritely, springy Sinfonietta.

This is an ADA-accessible venue.
