Great things and amazing art happen when women collaborate. Smuin Ballet’s latest tour, which includes a world premiere by Sacramento Ballet artistic director Amy Seiwert, highlights Smuin’s dancers and Seiwert’s lyricism.

Dance Series 02, the touring production, will also include works of Michael Smuin, the late founder of the company, alongside Renaissance, Seiwert’s premiere set to music from Kitka, a woman’s chorus.

The piece is inspired by the Indian “women’s wall” protests, during which women have formed a 620 km human chain and given new hope to women’s rights in India.
