ALONZO KING LINES BALLET
2013 - 2014 ANNUAL REPORT
Dear Friends,
Thank you for taking the time to learn about Alonzo King LINES Ballet in this 2013-2014 Annual Report. So much
occurred between July 2013 and June 2014 that gave us cause for celebration, pride, and excitement for the future; we
are honored to share it with you.
In FY 2014, LINES Ballet performed to audiences in 23 cities representing four different countries, including five sold-out
performances at Theatre National de Chaillot in Paris, France. This marked our first appearance in Paris, and we were
thrilled to have a number of Board Members, donors, and supporters in attendance. The year 2014 also saw our return
to The Joyce Theater in New York City where we performed the luminous ballet Constellation, with mezzo-soprano Maya
Lahyani live onstage. A California tour sponsored in part by the James Irvine Foundation took us to Arcata, Livermore,
Folsom, and Santa Barbara. And at home in San Francisco, the Company unveiled two new works by Alonzo King: the
stellar Concerto for Two Violins in fall 2013, and The Steady Heart, a provocative ballet which accompanied our spring gala,
which raised an astounding $380,000 for new work and scholarships.
Education lies at the soul of LINES Ballet. The Alonzo King LINES Ballet Training Program celebrated its ninth academic
year, bringing exceptional pre-professional training to 35 students, including 5 male dancers, and 11 international students
from Brazil, Canada, Guatemala and Mexico. Training Program students spent the year giving back, through outreach
lectures, performances, and after-school classes in schools and organizations around San Francisco. In its eighth year, the
Alonzo King LINES Ballet BFA at Dominican University of California welcomed 13 students into its class of 2018, out of
70 auditions. And all 11 Class of 2014 students graduated from Dominican University with honors. This past summer, the
Alonzo King LINES Ballet Summer Program celebrated its 13th Anniversary. The Summer Program auditioned over 800
students, with a record number 261 attending the two sessions.
The Alonzo King LINES Dance Center helped foster the joy of dance in thousands of people at all stages of training and
experience through their more than 80 classes a week.The Dance Center served over 3,800 adult students from all walks
of life, in disciplines ranging from ballet to jazz to modern and more. With its annual All You Can Dance for $5 and many
free outdoor performances, the Dance Center continued to make dance accessible to all.
In closing, we want to thank the Board, the administrative team, the dancers and friends and supporters for helping us
grow Alonzo King LINES Ballet into the preeminent arts organization it is today.
Sincerely,
Alonzo King

BALLET
2013-2014 Highlights:
• The 2013-14 touring season began in California, where the company performed in Arcata, Livermore, and Folsom Lake before
heading south to Alonzo King’s hometown of Santa Barbara. These tours were funded in part by a generous grant from the
James Irvine Foundation. Local engagement around LINES Ballet’s visit was high; in partnership with UC Santa Barbara and a local
dance school, King taught an open community class and gave a lecture to over 600 students at the University, while Company
members led workshops in ballet and modern. Students presented flowers to the dancers onstage following their performance
and a standing ovation.
• Back home in San Francisco, the company debuted two new ballets during the fall home season: Concerto for Two Violins (world
premiere) and Writing Ground (US premiere). Choreographed to Bach’s concerto in D Minor (utilized famously by George
Balanchine in 1941), Concerto for Two Violins is a sleek and sharp salute to ballet’s past while marking the continued evolution of
neoclassicism. Balanchine’s training in music theory provided one visual conception of the score; as King investigates the densely
layered contrapuntal voices for himself, we hear beloved melodies anew. Chronicle dance critic Alan Ulrich wrote that the fall
program delivered what LINES audiences have come to expect: “dancing of immense pliancy and emotional resonance by a team
of amazingly resilient performers who relish the challenges that King’s choreography throws their way.”
• Winter found the Company traveling through Israel and France, performing some of Europe’s most respected venues. Audiences
in Lyon welcomed LINES’ fourth visit to the Maison de la Danse, where tickets sold out for the run of eight performances. LINES
closed the season at Le Silo in Marseille, a city named the European Capital of Culture in 2013. In Paris, LINES’ French debut
of Constellation was the best-selling show of the season at the Théâtre National de Chaillot, one of the world’s foremost dance
theaters, that has hosted luminaries from around the world. The LINES family of artistic collaborators, board members, and
friends expanded internationally in support of the Company’s Paris engagement. While in Paris, the BNP Paribas Foundation
hosted LINES for a spectacular luncheon at their historic headquarters. Mezzo soprano Maya Lahyani, now a soloist at the
Metropolitan Opera, rejoined the dancers on stage, and electronic artist Jim Campbell was thrilled to see his set in action. Board
members Lucia Choi-Dalton, Amy and Harry Schoening, Kate Duhamel, Betty Louie, Diane Jones Lowrey, and Jean-Marc-Torre
attended a press conference and post-show reception with LINES’ corporate sponsor, BNP Paribas.
• An enthusiastic audience response at the Israeli Opera House in Tel Aviv was only part of an unforgettable evening in Israel,
where the company met with The Parents Circle Families Forum, a grassroots organization of Israeli and Palestinian families who
have lost children in the ongoing conflict. The group of bereaved mothers from both sides of the West Bank wall sat together
in the audience during the performance and spoke to the Company afterwards, sharing their stories. Dancer Courtney Henry
recalls the tears shed in the house that evening. She was humbled to see the women’s shared grief wholly transcended their
divisive political reality. The women spoke without resentment or malice, their identities not fixed as members of warring
factions, but simply as mothers finding solace in their common humanity. Henry was struck by the courage they showed in their
union: reeling from some of the worst pain imaginable, without robust popular support in their communities, these families
embraced forgiveness as the ultimate act of bravery. Performing in this particular setting gave Henry a renewed appreciation of
what it means to be liberated has a dancer on stage. In their own acts of courage as artists expected to give deeply and publically
of themselves, LINES dancers manifest a kind of freedom and empowerment palpable and inspiring to each other and their
audience.

2013-2014 Highlights Continued:
• In the spring, one such audience was the community in
and around Sonoma State University, where LINES began a
week-long residency in preparation for the 2014 spring home
season. Students had the opportunity to attend classes with
Ballet Master Arturo Fernandez, a dance history lecture
with Training Program faculty Molly Rogers, several open
rehearsals, and finally, a work-in-progress showing of the piece
that eventually became The Steady Heart. A writer for the
student newspaper called the experience “unforgettable,” and
many in the audience appreciated the chance to ask Alonzo
King questions about his work after the show, which was free
and open to the public.
• Back on the road, Jim Campell’s striking set was unfurled once
again for the east coast debut of Constellation. The Company
enjoyed a successful season at New York’s Joyce Theater and
a busy schedule of engagements throughout New England.
Indian tabla master Zakir Hussain met up with the dancers in
Seattle, where he performed live for the remount of Rasa in
a performance called “unexpected and original” by the Seattle
Sun Times. During a run of 5 sold-out shows in Montpellier,
France, 50 people – non-dancers of all ages – waited in the rain
for a chance to take an outdoor movement workshop with
Babatunji, who sadly had to cancel when the rain became a
downpour. At the opera house in Baden Baden, Germany (the
second largest auditorium in Europe), dancers couldn’t sign
posters fast enough to placate an enthusiastic crowd of young
LINES fans who had just attended a lecture-demonstration
and performance of Dust and Light and Scheherazade.
• The dancer roster underwent some big changes this year,
as LINES bid a sad farewell to several veteran Company
members and welcomed some extraordinary new talent
into the studio. Ashley Jackson is continuing her dance career
at Dance Theater of Harlem, while David Harvey is taking
time off to pursue independent projects. Caroline Rocher is
retiring and enjoying preparations for her upcoming wedding.
After seven years as a dancer with the Company, Meredith
Webster has transitioned to her new role as Ballet Master,
utilizing her strong teaching skills and deep knowledge of King’s
work as she co-directs rehearsals with Arturo Fernandez.
Babatunji (a graduate of the LINES Ballet Training Program),
Jeffrey Van Sciver (a graduate of the LINES BFA Program at
Dominican), Robb Beresford, and Adji Cissoko have already
danced both new and old repertory with power and aplomb.
Madeline DeVries, Shuaib Elhassan, and Laura O’Malley can be
seen by San Francisco audiences for the first time this fall. In
the Company office, Jessica Cabrera and Cody Chen bring a
wealth of experience in dance administration and production
to LINES as our new Company Manager and Production Stage
Manager, respectively.
ALONZO KING LINES
TRAINING PROGRAM
Serving a diverse population of pre-professionals ages 17-24, the Alonzo King LINES Ballet Training Program (LBTP) takes pride in
cultivating distinguished artists through a philosophy that fosters independent thinking, problem solving, and fearless exploration,
reinforced by a solid technical foundation. The Program promotes a disciplined work ethic and encourages personal depth while
pushing students beyond their preconceived limitations. The program exposes students to a cornucopia of local and international
artists, various styles, and ways of working, with the ultimate goal of developing strong, well-trained, and well-educated artists who
will realize and achieve their full potentials as they pursue professional careers.
• The Training Program commenced its ninth academic year with a full and
colorful student roster of 35 students (20 new and 15 returning), including
five males and 11 international students from Brazil, Canada, Guatemala and
Mexico. The program awarded four, full-tuition scholarships, and 17 partial
scholarships based on need and merit.
• 2014 saw several current and former students venturing into professional
careers with the following companies:
•
•
•
•
•
Katlin Bourgeouis (2014) and Natalie Liebert (2014) accepted
contracts with Hubbard Street II
Alexander Vargas (2014) accepted a contract with DawsonDanceSF
Babatunji Johnson (2012) joined Alonzo King LINES Ballet
Vincent Chavez (2012) contracted with Robert Moses’ KIN and
Oakland Ballet
Nick Korkos (2009) worked with Azure Barton and Artists and
Zhukov Dance Theater, before accepting a contract with Les Ballets
Jazz de Montreal
• Two past guest artists returned to inspire and create memorable works on the dancers: Uri Sands, co-director of TU Dance in
Minnesota, and his assistant Yusha Marie Sorzano, and the established Barcelona artist, Iratxe Ansa. Apart from Sands and Ansa, the
students had the opportunity to work with other wonderful artists, including workshops with Robert Sher-Machherndehl of Lemon
Sponge Cake based in Colorado, Sidra Bell of Sidra Bell Dance NY, Haggai Milo Cohen, a gifted musician who collaborated with Kara
Davis in music/improvisation exploration, and Raphael Boumaile, a 20 year veteran of the Jose Limon Company.
• The fall and spring semesters culminated in showcases featuring work by the guest artists, and were performed at Z Space and
ODC respectively. Each showcase consisted of three performances, including one performance dedicated to the work of alumni
who were invited to either perform or showcase a piece they created. The bi-annual showcases offer students an unparalleled
opportunity to perform, and audiences a chance to see their talent up close.
• Enhancing performance opportunities, and leaving a lasting footprint on the community, continued to be a goal of the Program.
To that end, Training Program students participated in various events in San Francisco: In January, second year students performed
at Vision Series, directed by Donnette Heath of Dance Repertory, one of our annual collaborations as mentors for surrounding
high schools. In February, Claire Fischer performed a beautiful solo for San Francisco’s Black History Month Cultural Experience at
the City Hall Rotunda. In April, LBTP presented two pieces for Dancing in the Park at Golden Gate during National Dance Week.
LBTP joined the LINES Dance Center and BFA at Dominican performing three pieces at Union Square LIVE. In May, Natalie Liebert
created a trio with Katlin Bourgeouis and Alexander Vargas to open the Infinitely Chic Junior League Fashion Show at the Fairmont.
And first year student Dazaun Soleyn choreographed a piece to open San Francisco State University’s Midnight Metropolis Fashion
Show at Ruby Skye.
• This past year we also celebrated Dazaun Soleyn as he simultaneously completed his studies at South Florida University, graduating
with honors, while also training full-time with the Program. Because of his intelligence, talent, drive, and character, the University
provided him assistance in attending LBTP. Soleyn exemplifies the ideal student of the Training Program.
• In 2014, the Training Program held auditions in Los Angeles, New York, Tampa, and San Francisco, and experienced increased
interest and numbers of those auditioning. By June, the Program was fully enrolled for the upcoming fall semester.
• In March 2014, Ashley Trottier joined the staff as the new Training Program Coordinator.

BFA at DOMINICAN
In its eighth year, Alonzo King LINES Ballet BFA at Dominican University of California combines the dance training and philosophy
of one the nation’s foremost dance institutions with the comprehensive liberal arts education and social values of the Dominican
tradition. The program offers students an unparalleled opportunity to discover themselves as artists and human beings and is the
only BFA program in the country to be led by an active, world-renowned choreographer.
• In May 2014 we graduated 11 talented young artists. For the second year in a row, all of
the graduating seniors did so with honors, beautifully attesting to the academic and artistic
strengths of the students accepted into our program.
• Following graduation, several students launched professional careers in the dance world:
Taylor Collier and Alexis Staley accepted contracts with the SF Opera’s production of Show
Boat, where they distinguished themselves both on the stage and in the rehearsal studio.
Staley followed up her SF Opera stint with an apprenticeship at Chicago’s River North
Dance Company, while Collier headed to Minneapolis to work with TU Dance. Many other
members of the class of 2014 immersed themselves in project-based work post graduation
while simultaneously auditioning in the Bay Area and across the country.
• In the 2013-14 academic year, BFA students had the opportunity to work with guest
choreographers Uri Sands of TU Dance, and Robert Sher-Machherndl of Lemon Sponge
Cake Contemporary Ballet, as well as former LINES Ballet member Keelan Whitmore.These
distinguished artists worked alongside our fantastic faculty choreographers Gregory Dawson,
Christian Burns, Julia Stiefel, and Carmen Rozestraten. Works by these choreographers were
showcased throughout the year to great acclaim.
• The Junior class attended the American College Dance Festival regional conference at
Arizona State University, presenting Robert Sher-Machherndl’s RUSH. The adjudicators
selected RUSH along with pieces from University of Utah and UCLA to represent the
West Region at the National Festival, held bi-annually at the Kennedy Center in Washington
DC. Five hundred pieces were adjudicated at 11 regional conferences. Thirty-one were
ultimately selected for the National Festival. Adjudicator Wendy Perron, former editor of
Dance Magazine, wrote about RUSH in her blog, saying she felt she had discovered a new
program and a new choreographer. The juniors felt honored to step onto the Kennedy
Center stage, and they danced beautifully.
• BFA students Tatiana Barber and Madeline Matuska were awarded Dizzy Feet Foundation
scholarships in the amount of $10,000 each. This marked the second year two of our
students were honored in a single year. Barber has also been invited to perform at the Dizzy
Feet Foundation Gala at the Dorothy Chandler Pavilion in Los Angeles.
• The ratings website, ZOOMtens, listed LINES Ballet BFA at Dominican in its top 10
University dance programs in the country.The recognition is a testament to our phenomenal
faculty and the impact our graduates are making on the dance community.

dance and visual art classes at the Albert Boro Community Center in San Rafael’s Canal
District. Alumna Casey Thorne developed curriculum for the Dance Club and supervised
two BFA student interns. The 12-14 kids ages 8-11 were incredibly enthusiastic and
presented a wonderful end of year showing for friends and family.Thorne has been awarded
a Fulbright scholarship to study in Israel for 10 months. During her absence the program will
be run by an interim director.
• This past year, Dominican sponsored several events to raise funds for dance scholarships.
LINES Ballet has joined the effort, offering to match up to $10k of raised monies. This
growing pool of funds will be used for recruitment and retention of dance students, and to
keep the program thriving for years to come.

OUTREACH
LINES Outreach efforts are supported in part by funding from Kaiser Permanente, the Littlefield Foundation, and the
Kimball Foundation.
• LINES Outreach continued its relationship with community partners DeMarillac Academy, Tenderloin Boys and Girls Club, and
Presidio Middle School. Four Training Program students were selected as outreach teachers. Training Program teachers received
pedagogy training by master teacher Mary Carbonara and weekly mentoring with LINES faculty member Katy Warner.The students,
ranging from 4th to 8th grade, took classes both offsite and in the LINES studios, and performed at the SFUSD Arts Festival, HeART
of Market at Mint Plaza, and Summer Arts at UN Plaza.
• In October 2013 LINES Outreach and Dance Center hosted Dance at Mint Plaza. Lunchtime offerings included performances
by the Training Program and BFA students and demonstrations by Tango and Folkloric Dance teacher, Gigi Jenson. The highlight of
the series was the second edition of our annual community event, HeART of Market: Dance, Create, Connect. The day featured
175 community partners and LINES performers, including: the School Choir of DeMarillac Academy, choreographic demonstrations
led by LINES Ballet company members Meredith Webster, David Harvey, and Babatunji Johnson, fifty Dance Center students, and
participatory classes in jazz, Bollywood, and partnering.
• In January 2014 LINES students and staff spent a day with members of Wayne McGregor’s Random Dance (WMRD). The Dance
Center partnered with SF Performances and WMRD to run a series of outreach workshops for students from Downtown HS,
Lowell HS, SOTA, as well as a class for the Dance Center public, which was also attended by second-year Training Program dancers.
The goal was for this to be the start of an ongoing outreach partnership with WMRD and SF Performances.
