Dance Series 2
Presented by Smuin Contemporary Ballet
Smuin Ballet's 22/23 season finale is a quadruple bill. We present Dream by Michael Smuin, a stirring pas de deux set to "Romanza" from Chopin's "Piano Concerto No. 1 in E minor, Op. 11." Dream was originally commissioned as an anniversary gift by a devoted Smuin patron. Smuin's DS2 program includes two new works created by women: a world premiere by Amy Seiwert and a company premiere by Kate Skarpetowska, who Dance Magazine named one of "25 to Watch." Rounding out the bill is Swipe by Val Caniparoli, a highly technical and inventive piece for four men and three women set to a remix of "String Quartet No. 2" by Gabriel Prokofiev, grandson of Sergei Prokofiev who is a classically trained composer known for electronic and hip-hop music.
Program
* Swipe by Val Caniparoli, music by Gabriel Prokofiev
* Sextette company premiere by Katarzyna Skarpetowska, music by Johann Sebastian Bach
* Dream by Michael Smuin, music by Chopin
* World Premiere by Amy Seiwert
