Alonzo King LINES Ballet Fall Home Season 2012
October 19-28
Yerba Buena Center for the Arts
LAM Research Theater
formerly Novellus Theater
A World Premiere Collaboration
with electronic artist Jim Campbell
and guest artist mezzo-soprano Maya Lahyani
Be transported in an evening that redefines the relationship between visual art, technology and dance. The Fall Home Season explodes with a tour de force collaboration between Alonzo King, the LINES Ballet dancers, and acclaimed San Francisco-based electronic artist Jim Campbell.
Campbell, known for incorporating electronic memory, prerecorded images and live images into his art uses 1,000 LED spheres programmed in synchronized interplay with the dancers to produce a visionary evening of light and dance. And adding to the excitement, San Francisco Opera Adler Fellow and mezzo-soprano Maya Lahyani will perform live throughout the season.
This full evening work is emblematic of King's three decades of remarkable collaborations with the world's most celebrated composers, musicians, and contemporary artists.
