Tuesday night, San Francisco Ballet carved through time and space in Program 2. This is the first mixed bill of the season, and in an ode to contemporary ballet, the company looked sleek and versatile in the late Jerome Robbins‘ Opus 19/The Dreamer while molding themselves into taught and rhythmic shapes in Paul Taylor‘s Company B.

Becca Klarin writes about dance. Her first stage role was at the age of four, where she dressed in a brightly colored bumble bee tutu and black patent leather taps shoes. She remembers bright lights and spinning in circles with her eleven other bees, but nothing more. Becca also has an affinity for things beginning with the letter "P", including Pizzetta 211, Fort Point, pilates, parsvakonasana, and plies.
