The ancient Greeks didn't have as many words for love as the Eskimos reputedly have for snow, but we in San Francisco know that there's more to love than the monogamous sexy eros celebrated in the name of the rogue marriage officiant or letter writer martyred centuries ago. Choreographer James Graham commemorates a variety of partnerships in the third annual Dance Lovers, a one-night-only performance. Curated by Graham, the evening puts together real-life pairs of performers — couples, flings, friends — for a series of new duets on love. Graham's work, nostalgically titled We Would Sit Together in Homeroom, focuses on the Platonic love between a gay and a straight man, performed with Sebastian Grubb. With a healthy mix of dancers and non-dancers, paramours and companions, ballet, improvisation, modern dance, and more, Dance Lovers offers an evening for every kind of significant other.
