Smart, vibrant dancing filled the stage at Zellerbach Hall when the 10-member Trey McIntyre Project of Boise, Idaho, brought three ballets to Cal Performances on Friday night.
The robust muscularity of McIntyre's freewheeling choreography was at its invigorating best in "The Sweeter End," a 2011 collaborative effort with New Orleans' Preservation Hall Jazz Band. Set to a loose grouping of old jazz standards like the "St. James Infirmary Blues" and "Trouble in Mind," the piece has a vaudevillian flair and Looney Tunes hyperactivity that suits the deft bravado and swagger of these dancers.
