San Francisco Performances introduces choreographer Jessica Lang and her company in their San Francisco debut, with "Lyric Pieces," "The Calling," "1000 Yard Stare," and the West Coast Premiere of "This Thing Called Love," set to music by Tony Bennett. This very musical program includes live performances of Grieg and Beethoven, by the Bay Area's own, pianist Sarah Cahill and One Found Sound string quartet. This is the final tour of the company.
Jessica Lang is Artistic Director of Jessica Lang Dance. Lang leads the creative vision of the organization which has garnered remarkable acclaim since the company's founding in 2011. Under her artistic leadership, the company now offers more than 50 performances annually at some of the world's most prestigious performing arts centers. Noted for her dedication to educational activities, Lang developed a unique curriculum for JLD called LANGuage, which is offered as part of the company's programming on tour and locally in New York City, focusing on the Queens community.
As one of the most celebrated choreographers of her generation, Lang choreographs and teaches throughout the world. She has created original works for companies including American Ballet Theatre, Pacific Northwest Ballet, Birmingham Royal Ballet, the National Ballet of Japan, and Joffrey, among many others. Lang has also worked in opera on the production Aida, directed by Francesca Zambello, for San Francisco Opera and Washington National Opera. She is the recipient of a 2014 Bessie Award and the 2017 Arison Award.
