About the Works Sand Choreography: Alonzo King Music: Charles Lloyd and Jason Moran Lighting Design: Axel Morgenthaler Set Design: Christopher Haas Costume Design: Robert Rosenwasser Its particular nothingness, and its potential for unimaginable power, has caused minds to liken sand to human beings for eons.

Sand is the uncountable aggregation, and yet today grains of sand can be estimated.

Sand can halt an engine. A grain of sand can temporarily blind you. It has been used as a metaphor for the passage of time, in hourglasses, and in dance as a listening process in how the body slowly shifts in transitions. There is power in the commonness of its abundance, its vast shapely beauty in dunes, on beaches, the desert, and the bottoms of oceans.

Sand is the mineral cousin of water, it can be poured, and the wind can manoeuver it into wave-like patterns.

Sand is used to polish and shape some of the hardest materials on the planet. You can hold sand by cupping your hands. When you grip it, it escapes through your fingers.

Sand is largely composed of quartz crystals. Quartz is primarily made up of silicon dioxide, which has a unique physical property of being piezoelectric, which lends itself for use as a primary foundation of circuit boards and computer processors. It has often been said that human beings are like tiny pebbles placed together in tight proximity to cause friction until our edges become smooth.

Sand was made possible, in part, by the Lisa and John Pritzker Family Fund, Marcia and Richard Grand, and The Bernard Osher Foundation.

About the Company Alonzo King LINES Ballet is a celebrated contemporary ballet company that has been guided since 1982 by the unique artistic vision of Alonzo King.

Alonzo King understands ballet as a

science — founded on universal, geometric principles of energy and evolution — and continues to develop a new language of movement from its classical forms and techniques.

Christopher Haas (Set Designer, Sand) is a San Francisco-based architect and founder of HAAS Architecture.

Since its establishment in 2009, the studio has completed several notable, award-winning projects, including the Zero1 2012 Biennial Exhibition space, the Fraenkel Gallery Annex, the 3990 Folsom Street residence, and the INFINITI Tree installation, commissioned by INFINITI and Cirque du Soleil.

In 2009, Haas collaborated with Alonzo King LINES Ballet and legendary Grammy-award winning musician Mickey Hart to create a new ballet exploring the intersections of architecture and movement. The resultant work, Triangle of the Squinches, earned him the prestigious Isadora Duncan Dance Award for Outstanding Achievement in Visual Content as well as the American Institute of Architects’ 2012 Excellence in Architecture Award.

Haas’s work has been published in Dwell, San Francisco Chronicle, The Architect’s Newspaper, C Magazine and featured on NBC, CBS and ABC news. He was one of twelve emergent international architects featured in the 2011 exhibition WHO NEW, sponsored by the University of Sydney.

In addition to his professional practice, he teaches architectural design studios at the University of California at

Berkeley and at the California College of the Arts, where he is an Adjunct Professor. His coursework, created for a graduate design studio at the California College of the Arts, was awarded the 2006 NCARB Prize for Creative Integration of Practice & Education in the Academy, the nation’s second highest award for an academic course in architecture.

Charles Lloyd (Saxophone, Sand) began playing the saxophone at the age of 9. Pianist Phineas Newborn became his mentor, and took him to Irvin Reason for lessons. Lloyd worked in Phineas Sr’s band, and from the age of 12 worked as sideman in the blues bands of B.B. King, Howlin’ Wolf, Johnnie Ace, Bobbie “Blue” Bland, and others. His closest friend in high-school was trumpeter, Booker Little. In 1956 Lloyd moved to Los Angeles and earned a Master’s degree from the University of Southern California. During this period Lloyd played in Gerald Wilson’s big band and he also had his own group that included Billy Higgins, Don Cherry, Bobby Hutcherson, and Terry Trotter. Lloyd joined Chico Hamilton in 1960, though the band was known for playing “chamber jazz” at the beginning of Lloyd’s tenure. His influence as a composer and a player quickly pushed it in a more progressive post-bop direction especially after Hamilton asked him to be the group’s “music director.”

Through 1965–1969 Lloyd led a quartet with pianist, Keith Jarrett, bassist, Cecil McBee (later, Ron McClure), and drummer, Jack DeJohnette. The quartet’s music was an interesting fusion of straight-ahead post-bop, free jazz and world music which quickly caught the attention of both jazz fans and critics. They also achieved a fair amount of crossover success with young rock fans and became the first jazz group to play at The Fillmore. Lloyd’s album Forest Flower, Live at Monterey, became a big commercial hit, largely on the strength of the title track. Other noteworthy albums include Dream Weaver, Soviet Union, and In Europe.

In 1970, after the quartet disbanded, Lloyd moved back to California and entered a state of semi-retirement. He practically disappeared from the jazz scene, but can be heard on recordings with the Doors, Canned Heat, and the Beach Boys. Occasionally during the 1970s Lloyd played with The Beach Boys; both on their studio recordings and as a member of their touring band. Upon his recovery from a near death experience in 1986, Lloyd decided to rededicate himself to music. He started performing occasionally in 1987 and 88.

In 1989, Lloyd reestablished an active touring schedule and began recording for ECM Records. The first ECM release was Fish Out of Water with Bobo Stenson, Palle Danielsson, and Jon Christensen. The ECM recordings showcased his sensitivity as a ballad player and composer.

Lloyd maintains an active recording and tour schedule. His “new” quartet with Jason Moran on piano, Reuben Roger, bass and Eric Harland, drums is well matched with Lloyd’s creative and adventurous spirit. They have two recordings on ECM, Rabo de Nube (2008) and Mirror (2010).

undertakings. In the span of one year, Moran accepted and recorded three separate commissions from three pre-eminent and very diverse American arts institutions: The Walker Art Center in Minneapolis, the Dia Art Foundation, and Jazz at Lincoln Center.

Jason Moran (Piano, Sand) Since his formidable emergence on the music scene in the late 90s, jazz pianist Jason Moran has proven more than his brilliance as a performer. The Blue Note Records recording artist has established himself as a risk-taker and innovator of new directions for jazz as a whole.

In 2007, Moran was commissioned to create In My Mind: Monk at Town Hall, 1959, the critically-acclaimed multi-media performance investigating Thelonious Monk’s famous recording, Monk at Town Hall. In My Mind examines Monk’s process of creating this seminal concert using audio of conversations with Monk and the arranger Hal Overton. Not surprising, the legendary Monk had a pivotal role in influencing young Moran to become a jazz musician. In 1981, at the age of six, the Houston native began studying the piano, but longed to quit until he first heard the sounds of Monk, an experience that established an early role model in Moran’s creative development. Moran later honed his musical education at New York’s Manhattan School of Music.

In almost every category that matters — improvisation, composition, group concept, repertoire, technique and experimentation — Moran, and his group The Bandwagon — with bassist Tarus Mateen and drummer Nasheet Waits — have challenged the status quo, and earned the reputation as “the future of jazz.”

Frequently influenced by the wider world of art as his muse, Moran has found inspiration in edgy 20th century painters like Jean-Michel Basquiat; Egon Schiele (whose painting “Facing Left” provided the eponymous title to Moran’s second album); and Robert Rauschenberg, whose chaotic refinement inspired Moran’s third album Black Stars, featuring the legendary Sam Rivers.

In 2005, his blues homage, Same Mother was released. This same year he received the first ever Playboy Jazz Artist of the Year award. Artist in Residence debuted in 2006 and showcased Moran’s signature brilliance with ambitious

His ongoing visionary collaborations in the art world have brought him additional fans and respect. Moran’s music is in the collections of both the MOMA and Whitney Museum of American Art. He scored a ballet for renowned Alonzo King’s LINES Ballet, as well as scoring video works for contemporary American artists Glenn Ligon and Kara Walker. Moran also has worked with pivotal visual/performance artists Joan Jonas and Adrian Piper. A future collaboration with Grammy-nominated neo-soul artist Meshell Ndegeocello — a dance party centered on the music of Fats Waller — premiered in 2011.
