Alonzo King's LINES Ballet
Spring Season 2009
April 17 - 26
Signs and Wonders & World Premiere

Spring 2009 will feature the return of Signs and Wonders. Set to indigenous music from myriad African tribes, Alonzo Kings Signs and Wonders was originally commissioned by Dance Theatre of Harlem (DTH) in 1995 and toured worldwide. Mr. King pays tribute to the wonders of creation with choreography filled with constant changes, in the words of The New York Times—drawing audiences into a world of evanescent ritual, where the dancers devote themselves to the miracle of transformative movement. This piece will incorporate Alonzo's inspirations from his current travels to Ethiopia. The season will also include a World Premiere set to classical music.

Special Season Events:

April 17: Opening Night Donor Reception to thank donors of $500 or more
April 19: Family Day at 2pm, before 3pm matinee
April 22: Post-performance conversation with Alonzo King
April 23: Post-performance conversation with the Company Dancers

OMG, What an amazing group of talented dancers! It defies gravity and with such beauty, grace, fluidity that is like angels sent from heaven to bring joy to us here on earth!
I am grateful for having had the opportunity to work with these talented men and women in support of helping to keep their bodies open and help with their recouperation from the extreme physical boundries that they so easily push. Jesse

Thank you for sharing these beautiful dances. I would love to see video clips from the Tango show you did many years back. It's my favorite!
