Description

"Pharoah Sanders, the famed tenor saxophonist who played with John Coltrane's jazz ensemble in the 1960s, shares Alonzo King's philosophy that art can express a truth: something underneath the surface, something deeply held in the soul. "The spirit tells me what to do and that's it," Sanders says of creating music for LINES Ballet. For Alonzo King, "Dancers are musicians, and musicians are dancers - they're making music with their bodies."

The fall season will feature a pas de deux created by Alonzo King for Muriel Maffre which premiered at the Venice Biennale last summer. As a guest artist with LINES Ballet, Muriel Maffre performs in a duet of fierce tenderness and beseeching grace." -http://linesballet.org/lines/sfseason/index.htm
