Wonderful show! The first piece by their new(er) choreagrapher Amy shows some maturation on her part with more interaction/chemistry between the dancers than some of her previous work, and I loved the costumes. The second, Medea was extremely powerful and makes me need to reread my Euripydes as I don't remember the full story even though we did the play back in high school. The last, Smuin's Sinatra had me grinning and wishing I could dance like that the whole time--what fun!

Description

Smuin Ballet begins its 2009-2010 season with an exciting world premiere by Smuin Ballet Choreographer-in-Residence Amy Seiwert. Seiwert’s World Premiere is accompanied by music from Grammy Award-winning group Kronos Quartet’s album Pieces of Africa, which reached number one on Billboard’s Top World Albums chart. The program continues with Michael Smuin’s Medea, a ballet of spellbinding theatrical power, weaving a story of passion, jealousy, and bloodthirsty revenge. And finally, a tribute-in-dance to the Chairman of the Board with Fly Me to the Moon, paying homage to the songs made famous by Frank Sinatra. “When Sinatra sings, you naturally want to dance,” said choreographer Michael Smuin. Fly Me to the Moon is the embodiment of the smooth and stylish melodies that have inspired generations, including his renditions of “The Way You Look Tonight,” “That’s Life,” “The Lady is a Tramp,” and many more.
