Smuin to Premiere Fresh Works by Dancers at New Smuin Center for Dance

Smuin Contemporary Ballet christens its new home, the Smuin Center for Dance, with public performances of its Choreography Showcase. Eight Smuin dancers will step into the spotlight as choreographers, utilizing fellow company members to bring their original ideas to life on stage. Audiences will enjoy a first look at ten fresh new
works created by Smuin dancers testing their choreographic wings, performed in Smuin's new studio. This fascinating showcase of never-before-seen pieces will offer a variety of dance styles and unique musical selections. The program will be followed by a Q&A session, during which audience members can discuss the artistic process with the performers and choreographers. Smuin's Choreography Showcase will be presented March 6-8, 2020 at the Smuin Center for Dance, 1830 17th Street, San Francisco.
