| Venue: Zellerbach
Hall Price: $38/$48/$64 Subscription Series: Choose-Your-Own Subscription Just as surely as Fokine and Balanchine before him, William Forsythe has changed ballet as an art form. Since becoming artistic director of the Ballett Frankfurt in 1984, he has created a prolific series of challenging original works for his company, using a contemporary aesthetic that is densely theatrical, yet ravishingly pared-down, and each of his audacious works for Ballett Frankfurt has been considered a major and provocative dance event. While Forsythe's choreography also enriches the repertoire of most of the world's major ballet companies, this tour marks the first time in over 15 years his own company has been seen in the U.S. outside of New York, and due to Forsythe's announced intention to leave Ballett Frankfurt in August of 2004, is most likely one of the last opportunities to see the great choreographer's original artistry performed by those dancers who know it best.
