LINES Ballet company dancers performing in Alonzo King's "Deep River" on stage; dancers are moving together while holding hands in a line

LINES Ballet at American Dance Festival in Durham

July 16–17, 2025

Join our LINES Ballet company dancers at Reynolds Industries Theater in Durham, NC performing in the American Dance Festival. Grounded on more than 40 years of thought-provoking dance, master choreographer Alonzo King’s unique artistic vision honors and advances the classical form—the linear, mathematical, and geometrical principles deeply rooted in the East-West continuum. Witness King’s creativity in his sought-after work, Deep River, a collaboration created with MacArthur Fellow composer Jason Moran and Grammy Award-winning vocalist Lisa Fischer.



Deep River is a call to keep hope, to make the lotus bloom in the mud, and to look at each other as a family of souls. Created over three years and throughout the pandemic, Deep River is a piece written with the heart, a love letter to a world writhing in pain, served by exceptional dancers.

Deep River soars along a highway to the heavens, taking us on a journey from chaos and despair to revelation and deliverance.” —See Chicago Dance
