Diablo Ballet Celebrates Twenty Years

Diablo Ballet tackles Balanchine's Apollo, Tina Kay Bohnstedt's take-off on a Sinatra classic, and Robert Dekkers' mysterious Milieu – once again showing up those larger companies who have unwisely ditched live music. 

Robert Dekkers' Post:Ballet presents High:5 , a full-evening program of innovative works, including Yours Is Mine, Sixes and Seven and Do Be. Reviewwed at Z Space, San Francisco 

Carla Escoda reviews Diablo Ballet's mixed bill, Emotions into Movement, at the Shadelands Art Center in Walnut Creek, California, featuring work by Ben Stevenson, Mário Radačovský, David Fonnegra, Robert Dekkers, and the classic Esmeralda pas de deux.  

The intoxicating aroma of artisan bread baking in the stone hearth ovens of the bakery next to Z Space in San Francisco's Mission district, turned out to be the only wholesome feature of an evening spent in the company of Amy Seiwert and four other choreographers whom she chose to collaborate on a fairy-tale-themed program that closed the month-long West Wave Dance Festival.

Malgré quelques temps forts, en particulier la reprise brillante de Herman Schmerman, la soirée « Etoiles de l’Opéra » laisse un avant-goût mitigé sur l'avant-scène du Palais Garnier.
