The Last Glass, by Matthew Neenan – COMPANY PREMIERE Dance Series 1 introduces two choreographers to Smuin audiences, Jennifer Archibald and Matthew Neenan. Archibald, globally in demand, creates a World Premiere in her first project with Smuin. Neenan, declared “one of the most appealing and singular choreographic voices in ballet today” by The New York Times, also makes his Smuin debut. His character-driven The Last Glass, set to music by the indie-rock band Beirut, is the perfect showcase for the individuality of Smuin’s Artists. Rounding out the program is Amy Seiwert’s Renaissance, set to music by Kitka Women’s Vocal Ensemble, which returns to the Bay Area following its New York premiere at The Joyce Theater.
