Alonzo King LINES Ballet is a contemporary ballet company collaborating with noted composers, musicians, and visual artists from around the world. LINES Ballet creates works that draw on a diverse set of deeply rooted cultural traditions, imbuing classical ballet with new expressive potential. Artistic Director and choreographer Alonzo King understands ballet as a science: founded on universal, geometric principles of energy and evolution to develop a new language of movement from ballet’s classical forms and techniques.
So when you have to ask yourself: “Why am I holding back, why am I doing pictures?” And it’s usually: that’s because you’re afraid. Bottom line. And for great art you have to be brave. So that the whole world is going to laugh at you but you don’t care, do you get me? And when they say: “Ah that’s stupid!” You don’t care. You follow that song. I’m sorry, it’s true.
