Continuing its exciting 10th Anniversary season, Company C Contemporary Ballet presents a Spring Program full of fun, energy and romance, with performances April 27-May 27 in San Francisco and Walnut Creek. The Company will also travel to New York to share its exciting choreography. 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.

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" engages the full company in a provocative mix of classical technique, contemporary sensibility and world music. The program wraps up with the romantic "Footage" by Peter Anastos.
