Love Rocks Rocked!!
Southern Alberta Jubilee Auditorium - Calgary
It was a beautiful performance and experience. My only issue was that I fell going down the steps of Jubilee, it was very hot and caused a dry spot in my throat, which was, I am sure very annoying to people around me. I got up to leave and get some water, steps uneven and it was dark. As a result, down I went. Very embarrassing but the performance was to good to leave!

Amazing!!!!!
Southern Alberta Jubilee Auditorium - Calgary
We were on the edge of our seats the entire time!! Could not believe the physicality of these dancers- they are truly unbelievable!! Choreography was absolutely incredible and we would have loved to see them again. Not your typical Alberta Ballet performance so some may have thought differently but we cannot rave enough about this show!!!

The coolest
Southern Alberta Jubilee Auditorium - Calgary
I’m not a culture hound, but I’ve seen some good shows around the world. This was the coolest.

I was expecting better
Southern Alberta Jubilee Auditorium - Calgary
The first half was confusing and politically charged. I can’t stand rap and hip-hop music, it is the laziest form of music, in my opinion. The second half was much better, though. Do better.

We Loved “Love Rocks”♥️
Northern Alberta Jubilee Auditorium - Edmonton
We were in the audience for the Saturday afternoon performance that had technical issues. We loved the first half sooo much we took the option to return in the evening. We are sooo glad that we did! Such an incredible experience!

Potential fave
Northern Alberta Jubilee Auditorium - Edmonton
The performance was cancelled due to technical difficulties. This was disappointing to say the least. The troop gave us a short preview of what the show would be and it was beautiful. I look forward to seeing them on another occasion.
Set to the music of Lenny Kravitz
Alberta Ballet is pleased to invite Complexions Contemporary Ballet to its 2022/23 season.
The company is celebrated for its innovation in using dance to remove boundaries, not reinforce them, and represents one of the most recognized, diverse, inclusive and respected performing arts brands in the world.
WOKE, which Complexions premiered in 2019, is a physical reaction to daily news. Set to music by Kendrick Lamar, Logic, Drake, Diplo and others, this production is a bold and dynamic socially conscious one-act ballet featuring the full company that examines our humanity in conjunction with today's political climate.
The second act, LOVE ROCKS, is set to the music of Grammy Award-winner Lenny Kravitz.
"Companies like Complexions are game- changing: they're forging a path for what ballet can be instead of what it historically has been."
