Part of Alice & John: A Coltrane Festival
Known for “sublime dance theater of the highest caliber,” Pam Tanowitz “has long been one of the most formally brilliant choreographers around.” (The New York Times) Following her debut on our stage as part of our 21/22 digital season, Tanowitz’ acclaimed company returns with three world premieres, including Walk With Me, our commissioned work set to the music of Alice and John Coltrane. With live music by saxophonist Lakecia Benjamin and her band, Pursuance, the piece sees Tanowitz choreographing to jazz for the first time. Her innovative twist on ballet and modern styles continues to shine in My Favorite Things (Duet + Group) and forever and ever and ever and ever, uniquely developed for our Zellerbach Theatre. “Pam Tanowitz's dances are a lot like diamonds: They dazzle with compositional brilliance.” (Dance Spirit Magazine)
