TIME PIECE: To kick off sjDANCEco's 17th season, 'Etched in Time' brings together the work of master choreographers Jose Limon and Gabriel Mata.

Honoring the past while looking to the future, sjDANCEco opens its 17th season with Etched in Time, a program featuring “The Exiles,” a Paradise Lost masterwork by José Limón, and a world premiere piece based upon the experiences of a DACA-Dreamer immigrant living in the US. The world premiere is by Gabriel Mata, a San Jose State University graduate. “This is where/I Begin…” is a solo work—choreographed and performed by Mata—set to “Jenuwine Flow” by Michael Wall, a track originally created to accompany a 60-minute yoga flow. Barbara Day Turner conducts the accompanying San Jose Chamber Orchestra.
