Inspired by the undulations of sea anemones, Tealia was originally choreographed by John McFall for the
San Francisco Ballet in 1977.
A sensuously sculpted pas de deux,
Tealia is set to the Neptune suite from Gustav Holst's The Planets.




"My interest was to convey a rather mystical dimension, using underwater images to help
achieve it," said McFall.







Dance Magazine found the dance
"languidly exotic... This fluidly mysterious ballet presents lineal patterns of
great beauty."
