SUMMARY:LINES Ballet in Philadelphia
DESCRIPTION:Join our LINES Ballet company dancers in Philadelphia\, PA performing at the Zellerbach Theatre / Penn Live Arts. 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. \nPROGRAM \nAlonzo King LINES Ballet is pleased to present LEGACY\, a meditation on lineage\, memory\, and the unseen forces that shape who we are\, featuring choreography by Alonzo King and an original score by Grammy Award-winning musician\, bassist\, and vocalist esperanza spalding.  \nUpon its sold-out premiere in April 2026\, the San Francisco Chronicle hailed LEGACY as “a rare kind of magic…that leaves a sense of compositional just-rightness\,” while Critical Dance described the dancers of LINES Ballet as “technically astonishing” with “an air of exquisite elegance.” Intimate yet expansive\, LEGACY offers audiences a deeply human experience of connection\, continuity\, and home. \nThe program will also feature Alonzo King’s critically acclaimed Ode to Alice Coltrane\, which has thrilled audiences around the world. King has been mesmerized by Alice Coltrane’s music since he was a child—he choreographed one of his very first pieces to her composition. He later returned to her body of work to create this ballet as part of “The Year of Alice” in 2024\, a nationwide tribute to her legacy that included performances and exhibits by LINES Ballet\, Impulse! Records\, Detroit Jazz Festival\, Hammer Museum\, and The New York Historical Society. The San Francisco Chronicle declared Ode to Alice Coltrane to be “a conversation thrilling to behold” that “lifts us… to a higher bliss\,” while dance critic Jen Norris proclaimed the piece “rich in kinetic brilliance.” \nJoin LINES Ballet in celebrating two of the musical world’s most iconic women artists\, whose visionary approaches continue to influence generations of musicians and listeners. \n\n \n\nPhotography: Alonzo King LINES Ballet | Dancers: Tatum Quiñónez and Company | © Chris Hardy
