Stagers are the dance world’s unsung keepers of beauty, credited only in the program’s small print, but responsible for the nuances of gesture, style and manner that constitute a ballet’s soul. Elyse Borne last staged George Balanchine’s “Emeralds” for the San Francisco Ballet in December 2019 and died later that month.

Van Patten, who joined the San Francisco Ballet in 2002, is the finest actress-dancer in the company, so it is good to have a beautifully directed record of her theatrical genius in Danielle Rowe’s new dance film, “Wooden Dimes,” the clever Art Deco centerpiece of the Ballet’s digital Program 3, which begins streaming Thursday, March 4. ....

Are audiences attracted by frenzied glamour and urgent escapism in these pandemic-beleaguered early days of 2021? That’s what San Francisco Ballet’s advertising has mostly served up, with tense music and all-caps headlines touting “world class ballet” brought to your living room.
Fortunately for those of us needing relief from such intensity, the mood is quite different in Myles Thatcher’s new ballet, “Colorforms,” which premieres as part of the Ballet’s digital Program 2 on Thursday, Feb. 11, and shoots off the screen like a ray of sheer, unforced pleasure. ....
