The Smuin Ballet presents this year's spring series, featuring three diverse works that showcase the company's skill and exemplify the fresh and youthful spirit of spring.

Darrell Grand Moultrie gives Bay Area audiences their first look at his JAZZIN', a sultry ballet set to jazz music by Wynton Marsalis, Duke Ellington, Billy Strayhorn and Andy Razaf. Finally, Michael Smuin's romantic and lovely Chants d'Auvergne is a series of solos, duets, trios and ensemble pieces set to traditional French songs arranged by Joseph Cantaloube. Learn More

Written on Sep 28 2009The Sippy Cups are a great way to introduce your kids to seeing a show. They are very entertaining and the kids can just be kids. Their music is really fun, all of the kids (and the parents) dance, and they have great performers on stage, too!

Description
When The Sippy Cups began writing the songs that would become their new album, The Time Machine, the band noticed that they all seemed to be about growing up and changing. Even the music was becoming a bit more sophisticated and edgy. It became apparent to them that both their own children, and their audience, had grown up some since their last album, and the themes of these new songs unwittingly reflected that process.
As the songs took shape, the overriding concept that became the album's title also began to take shape. After all, what kid doesn't love the idea of a time machine? But in the case of The Sippy Cups, the time machine they are referring to is not some tricked-out Delorean, but our own bodies, which are constantly growing and changing and moving us through time. They wanted to convey to children and parents how magical that journey through time can be, and how precious the milestones are along the way.
Sippy Rudy wrote "My Loose Tooth" about his daughter Riley's experience with wiggling a loose tooth around in her mouth. Sippy Alison brought in a song called "One Day Soon," about watching her son Henry learn to swim and read. Sippy Paul contributed "Seven is the new Fourteen," introducing math fun for ages 3 to 93. Rounding out The Time Machine are songs like the rousing "Look," which celebrates the ancestors who made us who we are; "My Angry Voice," one for the parents to learn from; "Awake," a slow- building, ethereal paean to the parallels between the natural world and our world; and "Hailstone Man," a rocking number about a WWII pilot who jumps out of a failing plane into a hailstorm, and lives to tell the tale. Character favorites such as Major Minor, Super Guy and Hair Professor round out the journey.
About the Ticket Supplier: The Sippy Cups
Created by three dads living in a coastal town just south of San Francisco, The Sippy Cups' first gig was a fundraiser for a community-built playground in their neighborhood. Just two years later, all their concerts sold out in advance, their CDs flew off the shelves, and critical acclaim hailed from the likes of the San Francisco Chronicle, ABC-TV, the New York Post, and Time magazine. The powerful formula of The Sippy Cups' early success lies in their equal appeal to parents and children and a play list from The Beatles, Velvet Underground, Bowie, The Ramones and others. To top it off, their imaginative original tunes are climbing the kid radio charts and being sung by kids around the country. The San Francisco Chronicle called them "every parent's favorite kid rock band and quite possibly the illegitimate offspring of The Cat in the Hat and Joey Ramone."
