Lineage
Davidson Theatre Choreographers: George Balanchine, Christopher Wheeldon, Justin Peck Experience the intensely dazzling works of three prolific New York choreographers with Lineage: A Collection of Short Ballets. Step inside the spirited freshness of American folk dancing with George Balanchine’s Square Dance, a boldly athletic work starkly contrasted by the melancholic beauty of Christopher Wheeldon’s After the Rain.
