James Sewell Ballet Spring Program

Dancer/choreographer James Sewell
made his way back home to Minneapolis in 1993, after a long stint in
New York, bringing his company with him. Sewell began choreographing
ballets in 1982, while at the School of American Ballet, in New York. He went on to dance with ABT II, an apprentice company of the American Ballet Theater, and then as principal dancer for the Feld Ballet. Once hailed by The New York Times as "one of
American ballet’s best choreographers," James Sewell consistently
delivers innovative and exciting pieces. This month, the company delivers its Spring Program at The O’Shaughnessy, with two Twin Cities premieres choreographed by Sewell himself: Social Movements and If This Then What. Also on the program are Table Waltz, choreography by Penelope Freeh, and By the Gypsy River Banks, choreography by Sally Rousse.
