Green Jeté Part Deux

I’m taking a tiny break from preparing for our 4th and final stop of the Fall tour to share an incredibly awesome video with you. Hopefully you’ve seen the first installment of our San Francisco Ballet Green Team video series. That video announced the beginning of a month-long environmental awareness campaign at 455 Franklin Street. Everyone on our Green Team was amazed at the response, and the difference is palpable. Empty rooms are now left dark, mugs have replaced bottled water, the stairwells are enjoying a renaissance, and our impact on the environment is now a frequent subject of conversation.

To celebrate the completion of our Green Jeté campaign, I asked the Green Team members and Principal Dancer Nicolas Blanc to perform in a follow-up video. It answers the question: “How far will San Francisco Ballet go for the environment?” You’ll have to watch to find out the answer, but here’s a hint: Green Alert!
