New premieres and old favorites define Dance Series 2. Artistic Director Amy Seiwert creates a World Premiere, her 13th ballet for the Company. Trey McIntyre returns to Smuin with the Bay Area premiere of his Wild Sweet Love, an ode to the ups and downs of love set to a range of music from Mendelsohn to Queen. McIntyre's "fertility of invention and modernity of spirit" (The New York Times) is no stranger to Smuin, and we're delighted to add another of his ballets to our repertory. Completing the program is a pair of favorites: Michael Smuin's Rodin-inspired The Eternal Idol, originally choreographed for American Ballet Theatre superstars Cynthia Gregory and Ivan Nagy and Smuin Alum Rex Wheeler's spritely, springy Sinfonietta.
