Will Tweet For Seat

Good evening, and welcome to the show. Please take a minute to take out your cell phones and tweet.

 

Yup, Diablo Ballet is looking for real-time Tweeters. For their upcoming performance next month, the company is creating complimentary "tweet seats." A section at the back of the house will be reserved for audience members who promise to tweet throughout the show in exchange for a free ticket. Diablo Ballet hopes to encourage "citizen critics," and encourage artistic conversation between audience members. 

 

  
Put Yourself in The Hands of Choreographers

Move over New York—Montréal is the new Mecca for dancers who love pushing boundaries. One of the many artistic opportunities this city offers is Springboard Danse Montréal, a summer project where advanced dancers work directly with multiple companies and learn ballets by several top choreographers.

  

The second program of San Francisco Ballet’s 2012 season includes a new work by Mark Morris, as well as Wayne McGregor’s Chroma and Christopher Wheeldon’s Number Nine. We’re giving away two tickets to the 8 pm performance on Saturday, February 25.
