In an electrifying series that pushes the limits of contemporary ballet,
The Blake Works sets William Forsythe’s cinematic choreography to the multi-layered music of Grammy Award-winning artist James Blake.
The Blake Works reimagines ballet with bold movement and a deep connection to music. High-energy, dynamic, and rhythmically driven, this program pushes ballet into new territory: modern, electrifying, and impossible to look away from. Forsythe’s hallmark deconstructed aesthetic will be on full display.
The Blake Works marks the SF Ballet premiere of Forsythe’s latest work, presented alongside audience-favorite material in a first-of-its-kind North American program and a true celebration of William Forsythe’s innovative spirit.
