SFB Principal Frances Chung Stars in an Awesome Dance Short

January 16, 2015

Just as I was talking about all the awesome choreographers and filmmakers out there, teaming up to create dance films, the internet went and proved me right. Dancer, photographer and filmmaker Quinn Wharton’s latest project—an experimental short called RUN—is another cool addition to the genre.

Not only is the film edgy, but it also features the ultra-glamorous Frances Chung, who’s a principal with San Francisco Ballet (and one of my favorite ballerinas!). She dances a slightly creepy contemporary duet with SFB soloist Dores André, where the two women seem to switch places, emerging and disappearing into the earth.

We’ve been long-time fans of Wharton’s stunning photography, and it’s exciting to see him venture into dance-film territory. We can’t wait to see what’s next!
