Fushille’s vision for the Company, beyond the role of conservator and prime presenter of Michael Smuin\u2019s ballets, is to bring to the stage new works by both world-renowned and emerging choreographers, as well as support young aspiring choreographers within the Smuin company.[17]Company[edit]Artistic Director[edit]Ballet Mistress[edit]Choreographer in Residence[edit]Principal Dancers[edit]Brandon AlexanderTessa BarbourIan BuchananClaire BuehlerSt\u00e9phano CandrevaMaggie CareyMengjun ChenCassidy IsaacsonTess LaneMarc LaPierreTerez Dean OrrJohn Speed OrrLauren PschirrerYuri RogersBrennan Wall[18]Touring and performing[edit]Smuin performs over 60 shows per season in theaters throughout San Francisco, Walnut Creek, Mountain View, and Carmel. Based in the San Francisco Bay Area, Smuin also tours across the country to venues including the Joyce Theater in New York; Montana, Michael Smuin’s home state; southern California; Colorado; and Alaska,[19] as well as throughout Europe and Australia.[19]Smuin has launched over 50 new works into the American dance repertoire, including many choreographed by Michael Smuin, as well as over 10 ballets created by Amy Seiwert, Smuin’s Choreographer in Residence [1].  Many notable choreographers such as Trey McIntyre, Helen Pickett, Ma Cong, Adam Houghland, and Val Caniparoli have premiered works with Smuin. Many of the choreographers have also given Smuin the opportunity to perform their works, including Ji\u0159\u00ed Kyli\u00e1n, Twyla Tharp, Annabelle Lopez Ochoa, and more [2].References[edit][20][21]^ a b “Smuin company shows growing pains in season opener” San Francisco Chronicle. 2016^ Lucille W.
