2. Myles Thatcher World Premiere: Steve Reich's Variations for Vibes, Pianos, and Strings

The 2021 Season includes three world premiere works on film by Danielle Rowe and Myles Thatcher, as well as Mrs. Robinson by Cathy Marston, which was originally programmed for the 2020 Season. Myles Thatcher's premiere appears on Program 2 (FEBRUARY 11- MARCH 3) and is set to Steve Reich's Variations for Vibes, Pianos, and Strings. The ballet will be filmed at San Francisco Museum of Modern Art and the War Memorial Opera House with direction by Ezra Hurwitz, costume design by Susan Roemer, and lighting design by Jim French. About the changing landscape of dance, Thatcher says, "As a choreographer, I'm constantly evaluating how we can do better to invite more people, voices, and communities into the world of ballet. There's no doubt that these unprecedented times are pushing artists to conceive, create, and connect with our audiences in a way we've never had to before. We MAY not be able to access the physical spaces that hold our art form, but we are discovering that these might not need to be the only spaces we inhabit. This is what intrigues me the most: the opportunity to invite people into our world in a new way and, perhaps, reach those who might not have been able to access these physical spaces to begin with."
