Amy Seiwert's Imagery (ASI), a contemporary ballet company is proud to present the twelfth annual SKETCH series, entitled SKETCH 12: Dear Diary.
Featuring world premieres by Artistic Director Amy Seiwert, Imagery's new Artistic Fellow Natasha Adorlee and Choreographer Joshua L. Peugh, whose work is being shown to Bay Area audiences for the first time. Each work will explore themes of nostalgia and examine new and better ways of making ballet.
SKETCH 12: Dear Diary will challenge the choreographers and eight collaborating dance artists to create new works that explore themes of nostalgia while participating in a critique group, or "crit group," a creative feedback process rarely seen in ballet settings.
Natasha Adorlee is a first-generation Asian American, who has a dynamic choreographic style that is ballet-based, fused with martial arts, modern, and contemporary techniques. Adorlee is a former dancer with ODC/Dance, Robert Moses' Kin and a guest artist with Kate Weare Company (New York). In 2018, Adorlee received a Regional Emmy for her performance and music composition work in the TV special "Baseballet: Into the Game." In addition, Natasha was selected to create the original song "Pink and Purple" for the Pixar Sparkshort "Out," which was shortlisted for the Oscars in 2021.
Joshua L. Peugh is a choreographer based in New Mexico and Founder/Artistic Director of Dark Circles Contemporary Dance (Las Cruces, NM). Peugh has a unique movement style that he utilizes to share untold stories; exploring his personal experiences as an individual who identifies as LGBTQIA. This is Peugh's first commission for a Bay Area dance company and the first time that his work is being shown to San Francisco audiences. Peugh has created 40+ works on notable contemporary companies like BODYTRAFFIC, BalletX, and Whim W'Him.
$20-$45.
