Stephen Pelton gets ready for 'The Dance Hour'

Thoughtful, disarming and distinctly nuanced, Stephen Pelton's dance theater works tend to be like the man himself, quietly perceptive. Pelton now spends part of every year in London teaching, and the rest choreographing and working in San Francisco with his eponymous dance company, which he founded in 1993.

This unassuming choreographer chatted about making a dance for Stephen Pelton Dance Theater's upcoming show 'The Dance Hour' - which will also feature works by longtime company members Christy Funsch, Nol Simonse and Erin Mei-Ling Stuart - as well as what attracted him to Europe and ties that draw him back to the Bay Area.
