FALL-WINTER PROGRAM

Carmen: Smuin Ballet Premiere: Robert Sund, choreographer

World Premiere: New work by Amy Seiwert, Choreographer in Residence

Dances with Songs: Michael Smuin, choreographer

We begin the celebration of the Company’s 15th Anniversary Season with the ballet that started it all - Dances with Songs. This signature Smuin work, a marvelous and colorful medley set to songs by your favorite singers, is as fresh and appealing today as it was when it debuted in 1994. Robert Sund, former San Francisco Ballet principal, has created his Carmen to the music of Miles Davis’ “Sketches of Spain” - a jazzy interpretation of the classical story of romantic competition. Amy Seiwert, Smuin Ballet’s new Choreographer in Residence, will premiere her 7th new work for the Company! Called a “rising star” by Michael Smuin, Ms. Seiwert has been recognized by the dance world as a chorographer to watch”. Her 2007 – 2008 work Objects of Curiosity was a hit with critics and audiences alike.
