Amy Seiwert's Imagery, SKETCH 5 | Stirred

Celebrate the fifth SKETCH series with the amazing artists of Amy Seiwert’s Imagery. This year’s program, ‘Stirred’, is all about premieres. Back To and Traveling Alone (West Coast premiere) will be joined by a new collaborative work between Seiwert and ODC Co-Artistic Director KT Nelson. This collaborative world premier is the result of Seiwert’s summer residency at Zaccho Studio, allowing two unique artists to explore new ground.

  The SKETCH series was created to foster risk and innovation in ballet based choreography. In 2015, we are mixing it up. Seiwert will be collaborating with ODC Co-Artistic Director KT Nelson on a new work. The artists will be editing each other's work and interrupting each other's process, in hopes of discovering something entirely new. This type of collaboration is extremely rare in ballet. A co-production of ODC Theater. Also on the program, Seiwert's premiere of Back To, set to the recordings of bluegrass artist Gillian Welch, and the West Coast premiere of Traveling Alone, created for Colorado Ballet in 2011.

Amy Seiwert’s Imagery, a contemporary ballet company in San Francisco, believes that ballet is an expressive and vital voice relevant to our times. Imagery’s artists share the belief that through collaboration & experimentation, vibrant and courageous ideas are expressed and habitual reactions are discouraged. Imagery’s mission is to expand the definition of ballet by exploding preconceptions of what ballet is and can be.
