Smuin Contemporary Ballet will close its 2024/25 season with "Dance Series 2," a collection of fresh premieres and returning favorites. Artistic Director Amy Seiwert offers her first World Premiere at the helm of Smuin, and her 13th ballet for the company. Nationally acclaimed choreographer Trey McIntyre is represented by the Bay Area premiere of his playful work "Wild Sweet Love," set to a medley of popular artists ranging from Queen to The Zombies, and even The Partridge Family. Hailed by The New York Times as "one of the most important choreographers working today," McIntyre's works have long been favorites in Smuin's repertory. The company also revives Michael Smuin's Rodin-inspired pas de deux, "The Eternal Idol," originally choreographed for American Ballet Theatre superstars Cynthia Gregory and Ivan Nagy in 1969. The work of former Smuin dancer Rex Wheeler rounds out the evening with "Sinfonietta," a spirited neoclassical ballet for five couples set to the eponymous piece by Boris Tchaikovsky. Former Smuin dancer Wheeler is a multi-faceted performer and choreographer whose drag alter ego, Lady Camden, captured international attention on "RuPaul's Drag Race."
