Alonzo King LINES Ballet
The Joyce Theater 
May 5-10


San Francisco-based Alonzo King LINES Ballet returns with two New York premieres: Writing Ground  (2010) and Concerto for Two Violins. Writing Ground is a collaboration between King and Irish American author Colum McCann, "...inspired by the shared artistic values of King and McCann. McCann’s free verse is the starting point, and King translates through movement the ideas and the spiritual aesthetic to the audience," notes the release. The second work, Concerto for Two Violins, is choreographed to Johann Sebastian Bach’s Concerto in D Minor (first immortalized by George Balanchine in 1941). Noted as King's "...salute to ballet’s past while marking the continued evolution of neoclassicism....King investigates the densely layered contrapuntal voices," notes the release.  Find out more here
