Company C Contemporary Ballet Presents Spring Program in Walnut Creek

Continuing its exciting 10th Anniversary season, Company C Contemporary Ballet presents a Spring Program full of fun, energy and romance, with performances May 25-May 27 in Walnut Creek. Works by Gregory Dawson, Peter Anastos—Les Ballets Trockadero de Monte Carlo founder and frequent Mikhail Baryshnikov collaborator—and Company C’s own Artistic Director, Charles Anderson, take center stage in three performances: Friday, May 25, and Saturday, May 26, at 8 p.m. and Sunday, May 27, at 3 p.m. at the Lesher Center for the Arts in Walnut Creek.

Inspired by bluegrass covers of Led Zeppelin songs, Charles Anderson’s Song Remains the Same showcases the uninhibited dancing and athleticism for which Company C is known while his haunting Key to Songs pas de deux reveals a deep vulnerability and delicateness. Gregory Dawson’s Which Light in the Sky Is Us mirrors the same energy as in Song Remains the Same, involving the full company is a provocative mix of classical technique, contemporary sensibility and world music. The program wraps up with the romantic Footage by Peter Anastos.
