Alongside it, Mills’ international award-winning One / the body’s grace offers a quiet, deeply moving meditation on intimacy. And Smuin Ballet Artistic Director Amy Seiwert’s Renaissance pulses with rhythmic intensity, celebrating community and renewal through movement set to the resonant voices of Oakland-based women’s a ca****la ensemble Kitka.
