“Gripping, urgently beautiful choreography.” San Francisco Chronicle
“[Alonzo King] possesses a sort of magical science of gesture and spatiality. The technique is classically based – the women are en pointe – but the capacity for choreographic innovation is boundless.” Le Monde (France)
Celebrated contemporary ballet company Alonzo King LINES Ballet imbues classical ballet with new expression. Guided by the unique artistic direction of Alonzo King, “one of the few bona fide visionaries in the ballet world today” (San Francisco Chronicle), the California-based company collaborates with noted composers, musicians and visual artists from around the world as King continues to develop classical forms and techniques into a new language of movement. His understanding of ballet is brought to life by the company’s extraordinary dancers. As it deconstructs the familiar and introduces the unexpected, Alonzo King LINES Ballet redefines what you thought you knew about ballet.
