Choreography & Cocktails at IM ERSTEN

We are excited to present an rare introductory Showing Presentation of signature movement language by the critically-acclaimed United States Based choreographer Robert Sher-Machherndl of Lemon Sponge Cake Contemporary Ballet. Audience members are to experience excerpts of his original solo choreography over wine and moderated conversation.

Award-winning Robert Sher-Machherndl creates strikingly imaginative, intensely emotional, distinctly progressive work in collaboration with the most highly-skilled ballet dancers on today’s stage. In an evolutionary keenness to reinvent classical vocabulary, Sher-Machherndl advances contemporary ballet vocabulary past routine interaction into regions of unexpected possibility. Principal Dancers from American Ballet Theater, San Francisco Ballet to Finnish National Ballet perform his ground-breaking and innovative choreographies.

This highly anticipated occasion marks a Viennese premiere event and rare opportunity to meet this world-class artist in person.
