Alonzo King's LINES Ballet
in Collaboration with the Shaolin Monks
April 13 - 15, 18 - 22, 2007
Shaolin World Premier with Program
With utter calm and fierce precision, the dancers of
LINES Ballet and the Shaolin monks of China create
an unprecedented synthesis of Eastern and Western
classical forms. This collaboration represents both a
blending of distinct cultural traditions – ballet and martial
arts – and a recognition that these arts of movement are
convergent and intertwined.
