Be Here Now features the return of Le Grand Jazz!, choreographed by Darrell Grand Moultrie. This piece features classic tunes as well as songs from contemporary jazz artists, including Duke Ellington & Count Basie, Michael Bublé, Chris Botti, Ella Fitzgerald, Samara Joy, and the Melton Mustafa Orchestra. Le Grand Jazz! shares an infectious energy with the audience as it highlights a community of dancers who are playful, introspective, and always full of life. Our resident choreographer Penny Saunders will also create a new work to be featured in this performance, her 9th original work for the company. George Balanchines Italian Inspired Tarantella is an exuberant pas de deux, full of personality, speed, and spirit. Finally, Be Here Now, choreographed by Try McIntyre which transports us to 1967 San Francisco, during a time of cultural revolution and youthful expression, inviting us to delight in the present moment and love.
