Director Benjamin Millepied’s L.A. Dance Project has the second of their two programs at the Wallis Annenberg Center for the Performing Arts. The three performances that begin on Thursday are part of their year-long Company-in-Residence with the Beverly Hills Venue.
There are four works on the bill for the spring program. They are:
“Duets” by Martha Graham
“Helix” by Justin Peck (which features music by Esa-Pekka Salonen)
“Sarabande” by Millepied
“Yag” by Ohad Naharin
If Millepied’s face seems familiar, he appeared in the film Black Swan, which he also choreographed. He also collaborated with Yuval Sharon (who is involved with Mahler’s Song of the Earth with the LA Philharmonic this week) on his project Invisible Cities. Millepied did the choreography for that unique opera presented at Union Station.
