Dance at Cal Performances

Our 2025–26 Dance season welcomes the Cal Performances Company debuts of Paris Opera Ballet with a North American premiere of a new evening-length work by Hofesh Shechter; a collaboration between Sidi Larbi Cherkaoui, Antony Gormley, Szymon Brzóska, and Buddhist monks from the Shaolin Temple in a Sutra, where contemporary dance and ancient martial arts meet; and Kyle Abraham with his accomplished A.I.M (Abraham.In.Motion) as they tell stories at the intersection of Black and queer culture. We also welcome back to our stages MOMIX with a wild and fantastical take on Lewis Carroll’s Alice in Wonderland; a 100th anniversary celebration of Martha Graham Dance Company; and the Joffrey Ballet in Alexander Ekman’s Midsummer Night’s Dream, a celebration of the traditional Scandinavian summer solstice festival. And as always, we will see the return of residencies from Mark Morris Dance Group, this season bringing the Bay Area premiere of MOON, and Alvin Ailey American Dance Theater.
