SFDanceworks' Season Three features world premieres by Danielle Rowe and James Sofranko, as well as Nacho Duato's classic Jardi Tancat, and a duet by Penny Saunders.
Season Three's two world premieres each feature live musical accompaniment. Sofranko's quintet for three men and two women will be set to Schubert impromptus for fortepiano performed by Ronny Michael Greenberg, a third year San Francisco Opera Adler Fellow. For her part, Rowe is preparing an octet set to a commissioned score by Alton San Giovanni, performed by guitarist and multi-instrumentalist David Knight. Both Knight and San Giovanni are members of the ambient music band Low Roar.
Cast in the central role in Rowe's octet is Britt Juleen whose distinguished career includes roles as first soloist ballerina with the Dutch National Ballet and Dresden's SemperOper Ballet, among others. Most recently, Juleen served as the artistic director of Berkeley Ballet Theater.
Each season SFDanceworks presents one or more masterworks of classical and contemporary dance. This season's entry in the dance canon is Duato's plaintive, pastoral Jardi Tancat, the first piece he choreographed for Nederlands Dance Theater in 1983, and the work which first earned him international attention as a choreographer. Composed for three couples, Jardi Tancat, which means "enclosed garden" in Catalan, is set to folk songs recorded by vocalist Maria del Mar Bonet.
The final work on SFDanceworks's Season Three program is titled Snap by Penny Saunders, whose dances the company has presented each of the last two years. Originally created for Hubbard Street Dance Chicago, Saunders is reworking the duet for SFDanceworks' Brett Conway and Danielle Rowe. This will be the duet's second showing since it premiered in 2016.
In addition to Conway, Juleen and Rowe, the dancers this season include Garrett Anderson, Katerina Eng, Dana Genshaft, Nicholas Korkos, Laura O'Malley and Anne Zivolich-Adams.
