Obra: Hummingbird

An enjoyable evening of thematic dance but without any insights into the future of ballet. 

Jerome Robbins’ note to himself during the making of Dances at a Gathering reads, "Never make up a step. Always make a sequence of movement.” 

San Francisco Ballet's Program 7 presents a satisfying triple-bill event, featuring a world premiere of Liam Scarlett's Hummingbird, as well as the memorable Suite en Blanc and The Fifth Season.
