Danse Lumière was delighted to present an afternoon of dance, literature, and live music at the Sausalito Center for the Arts, bringing together works inspired by James Joyce and Emily Dickinson.
Following the European premiere of James Joyce Ballet in Dublin, this Bay Area performance continued Danse Lumière’s exploration of literary works through movement, voice, and music. The program featured guest artist Max Barker of American Ballet Theatre, alongside artists whose performances brought intimacy, lyricism, and theatrical depth to the space.
We are grateful to the Sausalito Center for the Arts, our artists, collaborators, and the audience who joined us for this special performance.
Audience member and photographer Dr. James Sobredo shared:
“The performances were amazing, and I am happy to see talented artists from the very young to those who are closer to my age! Much praise goes to the organizers of this special performance that blends literature, dance and music.”
Recent performance photos feature Max Barker of American Ballet Theatre and actor Howard Swain in James Joyce Ballet.
As part of this reflection, we are also sharing archival images from Danse Lumière’s 2000 Emily Dickinson production, featuring Helene Zindarsian, Kathryn Roszak, and Lorri Holt. Seen alongside the recent Sausalito performance, these photographs offer a glimpse into the company’s long-standing engagement with poetry, movement, music, and theatrical storytelling.
More than two decades later, Emily Dickinson’s world continues to resonate in Danse Lumière’s work — through the body, the voice, and the quiet power of performance.
