The music, the dancers, the choreography, the story, the diversity all in one package was beautiful, emotional and unique. I am so glad I had the opportunity to see the show.

An absolutely fabulous performance, one of the best that I've ever seen. The choreography to Lenny Kravitiz' music was perfect. The lead dancers were superb but the caliber of the whole troupe of dancers was also high quality and I was glad that they each had opportunities to shine on centre stage. I wish that the performance was still here as I would go and see it again and again.

Wow Amazing!
Southern Alberta Jubilee Auditorium - Calgary
Wasn't sure what I had signed up for, but it was amazing! The performance. The artistry of the dancers and the choreography. The music. The sound system, the staging. The only disappointment was that the first 4 or 5 rows in the venue's Centre Front seemed to be level instead of each rising higher than the row in front, and so, as I was in row C, I unfortunately did not have a clear view of the stage and had to try to see around the head of the guy in front of me. However, the show itself was absolutely fabulous, I'd pick a seat in row G or H and come out to see it again.

Wonderful Evening

What a lovely evening…appreciate the social message behind the arts. The dancers were amazing and the music was spot on. The only thing I would l like to see are wider seats to maintain more distancing in the Covid times

This is a next-level dance company and this show is truly out of this world. Beautiful, intense, brilliant, extraordinary. Don’t take my word for it - go see it. I was sorry it ended - know that feeling? Will see them every chance I get now.

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."
--THE GUARDIAN
CHOREOGRAPHER: DWIGHT RHODEN
MUSIC: LENNY KRAVITZ (LOVE ROCKS) KENDRICK LAMAR, LOGIC, DRAKE, DIPLO AND OTHERS (WOKE)
