Dance Kaleidoscope 2020 Works-In-Progress Documentary
Event Information
About this event
Since 1987, SA Met Ballet has presented a mixed-repertoire concert of contemporary and classical dance with company dancers, local students and guest artists.
Due to unprecedented circumstances, San Antonio Metropolitan Ballet’s Spring 2020 performance – Dance Kaleidoscope, could not be performed on stage in the traditional sense.
With some improvisation and telecommunication, we kept dancing. In June, we brought you Dance Kaleidoscope Part One – The Shelter-in-Place Choreography Project – A Remote Ensemble Performance.
And now, we bring you Dance Kaleidoscope, Part Two: a behind the scenes look at four pieces intended for Spring 2020. In this 40-minute documentary, you will hear choreographer testimonials and see rehearsal notes, photos and videos, followed by the available footage of each piece as it was performed in-studio for a Regional Dance America Adjudicator in February 2020.
Featuring music by:
*Drehz *Kölsch *Max Richter & René Aubry and *William Goldstein
You will also see updates on what we are up to today as we embark on Season 37 in this new post-COVID reality for performing arts organizations.
Join us on November 15th for Dance Kaleidoscope 2020 Part 2 – the Works-In-Progress Documentary.

San Antonio Metropolitan Ballet (SAMB), founded as San Antonio Dance Theater in 1983 and under the direction of Susan Beil Connally since 1987, was created to provide professional-level dance instruction and performance opportunities for local dancers and choreographers in classical and contemporary dance in a stimulating and nurturing environment, furthering the development of San Antonio's talented youth.
The mission of SAMB is to provide a professional experience in a pre-professional setting. Our vision is to transform people and ideas through dance.
SAMB is an SA2020 Partner and member of Regional Dance America. While teaching the art and business of dance to our company members and local students who serve in supporting cast capacity, SAMB is commited to San Antonio's vision of "taking responsibility for our collective well-being" by providing much needed arts programming for local economically disadvantaged and underserved schools.
During our rich 36-year history, SAMB has exposed thousands of children to the wonders of the performing arts through our educational outreach programs during our Children's Series. SAMB brings extraordinary guest artists, groundbreaking choreography and family-friendly programming to the San Antonio community.
SAMB's programs and the way we strive to accomplish our mission are based on the fundamental beliefs of supporting youth throughout their artistic development.
