"The versatile, much-in-demand San Francisco Ballet soloist James Sofranko has worked with many of the great choreographers of our time. A piece of his own devising, the elegant and poignant Means to an End, was most recently polished and dispatched by San Francisco Ballet School trainees at their annual showcase. Somehow Sofranko has found time amid all this to launch a new chamber ballet company. In its first outing, SFDanceworks will feature three world premières by Sofranko, Penny Saunders of Hubbard Street Dance and Dana Genshaft, former SFB soloist. The Adagio from Lar Lubovitch’s Concerto Six Twenty-Two (one of the all-time great male duets) and Alejandro Cerrudo’s Lickety Split complete the program."
