San Francisco Ballet in Dawson's Anima Animus

DIGITAL PROGRAM 05

DIGITAL PROGRAM 05

Looking for poetry, drama, and extreme virtuoso dancing? Helgi Tomasson’s 7 for Eight, a lyrical, neoclassical work for eight dancers incorporates sensual adagio, exuberant allegro, and everything in between. Master storyteller Cathy Marston recreates Edith Wharton’s novella Ethan Frome in her ballet, Snowblind. David Dawson’s Anima Animus is ballet pushed to every extreme: technique stretched to its outer limit and physically emotional virtuosity.

*Note: 7 for Eight, Snowblind, and Anima Animus will be archival captures.

DIGITAL PROGRAM 05 TRAILER

“For drama and some superb dance-acting, there’s Cathy Marston’s Snowblind . . .”
– SeeingDance

“David Dawson’s Anima Animus is dance that soars; a ballet that never stops stretching the technique of its cast to the limit.”
– SeeingDance

“[Anima Animus] looks very difficult to perform, but the extremely height-contrasted leads, Sofiane Sylve and Maria Kochetkova, do so superhumanly.”
– San Francisco Chronicle
