Alonzo King LINES Ballet November 17, 2011

“King’s company boasts the most limber, attractive, technically fearless set of performers.” —San Francisco Chronicle

This celebrated contemporary ballet company is guided by its uniquely global artistic vision. Drawing on a diverse set of deeply rooted cultural traditions, the company’s works imbue classical ballet with new expressive potential. Alonzo King’s visionary choreography is renowned for its ability to connect audiences to a profound sense of shared humanity—of vulnerability and tenderness, but also of furious abandon and exhilarating freedom. The company’s program includes Scheherazade about which a reviewer for the San Francisco Chronicle says “[Alonzo] King has created nothing finer in years.”
