Thursday-Saturday, May 31-June 2, at 7:30pm, and Saturday June 2 at 2:30pm
Oakland Ballet Company announces its 2018 spring repertory season, Scene and Heard, featuring five newly-commissioned works by choreographers Bat Abbit, Antoine Hunter, Michael Lowe, Danielle Rowe and company Artistic Director, Graham Lustig. The new commissions add to the company's rich history of narrative ballets, from founding director Ronn Guidi's presentations of repertoire associated with the Ballets Russes as well as his own works, through to current director Lustig's creations A Midsummer Night's Dream, Luna Mexicana, and Jangala. Each choreographer will create a new 10- to 15-minute narrative dance, set on a subset of the company's 10 dancers.
The performances are Thursday-Saturday, May 31-June 2, at 7:30pm, plus a matinee on Saturday June 2 at 2:30pm, in Laney College's Odell Johnson Performing Arts Center. In addition, the company presents the fourth year of its popular community dance celebration, East Bay DANCES, on Sunday June 3 at 4pm, also at Laney College.
