In the choreography for her ballet, 𝘎𝘶𝘦𝘳𝘯𝘪𝘤𝘢, Lopez Ochoa sought to answer the question “How do you put cubism into movement?” She created cubist effects by arranging dancers into poses, so that the brain appears to see four heads and only two legs. #SFBalletAt90 This tweet was posted on May 01, 2023.

Lopez Ochoa’s ballet also encompasses flamenco dance and bullfighting. The four principal dancers wear bull horns; the bull symbolizes violence and power—aggressor and victim. #SFBalletAt90 @SFBallet #Ballet This tweet was posted on April 18, 2023.
