The SF Chronicle dubbed Dances at a Gathering an “unambiguous, take no prisoners triumph” when it returned to the SF Ballet repertory last season. A glorious celebration of community and humanity, Dances at a Gathering, set to Frédéric Chopin, is the quintessential piano ballet. Yuri Possokhov’s Swimmer is a multi-media meditation on 1960s Americana; “a stunning video dance that’s youthful, quirky and visually arresting” according to the San Jose Mercury News. With a score by SF Ballet orchestra member Shinji Eshima that incorporates music by Tom Waits, Swimmer was the must-see ballet of the 2015 Season.
