About "Dance Series 2 - P.S. Forever Smuin":

• "Confessions" by Val Caniparoli
• "Renaissance" by Amy Seiwert 
• Plus, two premieres by current Smuin artists, "Vignettes" by Tessa Barbour, and "Untwine" by Brennan Wall

First premiered by Smuin in spring of 2018, "Confessions", originally named "If I Were a Sushi Roll", makes its playful return. Iconic dancemaker Val Caniparoli captures what the San Francisco Chronicle called “truly, madly, funny and spirit-tingling” movement in his nine-part dance set to contemporary classical baroque by American composer Nico Muhly and Faroese singer/songwriter Teitur.

"Renaissance" by Amy Seiwert, a powerful dance inspired by the 385-mile “Women’s Wall” protest in India aimed at building awareness of gender equality on New Year’s Day 2019, is revived on the program. Seiwert’s ballet is set to an evocative a cappella soundtrack by Kitka Women’s Vocal Ensemble, an award-winning Oakland-based group specializing in the techniques of traditional and contemporary Balkan, Slavic, and Caucasian vocal styling.

Two world premieres by current company artists, Tessa Barbour and Brennan Wall continue our correspondence in "love letters" with audiences. Be moved as they dance live again and spotlight Smuin’s astounding, accessible way of art.
