Join Alonzo King LINES Ballet in Martigues, France performing at Théâtre des Salins. 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

Stretch your body and your mind as you learn and perform three short pieces in our Adult Choreography Intensive 2023! At the end of the weekend, you will be a stronger and more versatile dancer.

During the intensive, you’ll work with three different choreographers of three separate genres. ArVejon Jones will guide you on a journey through jazz. He has a fierce passion for the style and an encyclopedic knowledge. Katie Roy will share her process for creating contemporary movement, understanding your organic impulse, and tapping into your innate creativity. And Victor Talledos will open your world to contemporary ballet, demonstrating how traditional movement can be broadened to make fresh, new artistic statements.

Our Adult Choreography Intensive 2023 culminates in an in-person showing in one of our studios, a great opportunity to perform for friends, family, and peers.
