The famed Joffrey Ballet returns to UC Berkeley with new dances in tow and big plans for the future.
In March 2020, the Joffrey Ballet was in Berkeley as part of a six-year residency program. The company gave its the last live performances at Zellerbach Hall immediately before the pandemic shut down the rest of the Cal Performances season and the entire 2020-21 lineup as well.
The Joffrey Ballet has a long history with Cal Performances, beginning with annual visits in the 1970s that formed a project called Berkeley Ballets. The choreography from that time remains in their repertoire today. The Academy also has a junior company component in which, Wheater says, “we have an ongoing program called ‘Winning Works,’ which is a platform for ALAANA and BIPOC artists, now in its 13th year.“
Chanel DaSilva won Joffrey’s 2020 Winning Works Choreographic Competition for her “Swing Low” , set to a cello and electronics score by Bay Area composer/performer Zoë Keating. The spiritual “Swing Low, Sweet Chariot,” inspired this work for five male dancers. It investigates the supernatural majesty of angels and the complexities of what it means to be human.
