Beauty, magic and passion…
FLOCK takes its audience on a deep dream journey into their own souls […] the dancers seemingly merging into a single being.”

Description
Fresh from its US premiere at 92NY in New York, FLOCK brings The Designer to California for one night only.
This vibrant dance show features FLOCK's signature physicality and emotional depth and follows a reclusive fashion designer as his creations take on a life of their own. What begins as companionship and beauty soon spirals into obsession, as the designer must confront whether he is master of his art or captive to it.
Featuring visionary costumes by Hogan McLaughlin adorning characters inspired by Tarot's Major Arcana.
FLOCK is an internationally renowned touring dance company known for its interwoven partnering and theatrical storytelling. Their work has been named among the best of the year by the Chicago Tribune and they are company in residence at the Freilichtspiele Schwäbisch Hall in Germany.
Doors open at 6:30pm.
The performance will include one 15 minute intermission.
Accessible seating is available. Please contact host below to reserve your accessible seats.

Choreographers
FLOCK: Alice Klock and Florian Lochner
Alice Klock and Florian Lochner discovered their co-creative magic while serving as dancers and Choreographic Fellows at Hubbard Street Dance Chicago. In 2017, they created FLOCK, through which they perform and create new choreography for film and stage. Their international touring shows include evening length productions Somewhere Between (named one of Chicago Tribune’s top 10 shows of 2023) , The Designer, Quest, and their feature length film Holy Grail. As a team, they have choreographed for dance companies and cultural institutions, including Hubbard Street Dance Chicago, Charlotte Ballet, Whim W’Him, Orsolina 28, Ririe-Woodbury, the Goethe Institut, and the 92nd Street Y, among others. Every year they create a new production for one of Europe's most storied theater institutions, the Freilichtspiele Schwäbisch Hall in southern Germany, where they are company in residence.
Press
Like a card game of shadows and fate.
"The Designer" succeeds in making the complex relationship between creator and creation accessible without words […] a remarkably clear, almost unsettlingly human story.
...like watching an agave bloom...
...a feast for the eyes!
