The body as an expression of beauty
From San Francisco to the world, from California to Andalusia, Alonzo King and his troupe defend “the line as an expression of the visual”. Curves and straight lines as essential tools of dance. Dance as one of the most beautiful and complex artistic statements.
Tradition and modernity, folk dance and vanguard dance, culture that is shared and unified by the infinite line of art. The Alfonso King company is a bridge between time and place, customs and innovation.
Empathy, happiness, diversity. The power of creation that knows no bounds. Shared humanity. Touching hearts and stirring minds through dance.
Alonzo King, director and choreographer, founded his company in San Francisco in 1982. Since then, he has travelled the world without turning away from his vocation as a pedagogue and disseminator. King believes in fusion and believes that education is a right and a key to a better and more habitable world. Art as a sign of identity, a light for humanity.
King directs, creates and teaches. His choreographies are in the repertories of the leading dance companies. He holds an Honorary Doctorate Degree from, among others, the Dominican University of California and was awarded the Green Honors Professorship from Texas Christian University.
Alonzo King makes contemporary dance a flag for culture, coming together and beauty.

Alonzo King LINES Ballet
A well-known contemporary dance company which has worked with top composers, musicians and visual artists from all over the world, enabling the troupe to explore new horizons inspired by cultural diversity.
Deep River
This is the result of years of work in unusual contexts. Spiritual music was chosen for this show, with the aim of broaching the power of inspiration in the face of difficulties, and the force of hope and determination in situations which appear unsurmountable.
