Boléro Commissioned by the Mendocino Music Festival *Costumes courtesy of Sacramento Ballet Company C Contemporary Ballet’s production of ARMENIA was made possible by a generous grant from the Kingsley Foundation. Special Thanks to our season sponsor, Wells Fargo Bank,
Company C Contemporary Ballet came to life in the summer of 2002, when choreographer and New York City Ballet veteran Charles Anderson was invited to pull together a group of dancers to fill a vacancy in a series being presented at San Francisco’s Cowell Theater. In a few short months, Mr. Anderson assembled a group of dancers to perform a program of his own choreography. The Company has grown rapidly since 2002, adding works by outside choreographers Twyla Tharp, David Parsons, Antony Tudor, Paul Taylor, Michael Smuin, James Sewell, David Grenke, Alexandre Proia, and Patrick Corbin. Company C Contemporary Ballet’s goal is to present a repertoire of choreography, contemporary in nature,that is moving, provocative, beautiful and entertaining. In addition to its two San Francisco and Walnut Creek seasons and appearances at theaters throughout California, the Company also produces the Oakland Dance Festival in Oakland every June.
