pherank Posted January 11, 2014 Share Posted January 11, 2014 Wendy Perron's Best of 2013http://www.dancemagazine.com/blogs/wendy/5554• Borderlands, choreographed by Wayne McGregor for San Francisco Ballet at War Memorial Opera House. With snaking spines, vibrating arms, and torsos diving through a partner’s negative space, this kinetically exciting premiere was danced magnificently by SFB. Lucy Carter's saturated lighting immersed the dancers in a unique environment.PERENNIALSSuperlative dancers, heretofore unmentioned, who continue to top their own artistic achievements:• Michael Trusnovec of Paul Taylor• Yuan Yuan Tan and Sarah Van Patten of SFB• Stella Abrera and Sarah Lane of ABT• Matthew Rushing, Alicia Graf Mack, and Linda Celeste Sims of Ailey• Sara Mearns, Tiler Peck, and Georgina Pazcoguin of NYCB• Jon Bond of Cedar Lake• Carla Körbes of Pacific Northwest Ballet• Julie Diana of Pennsylvania Ballet Link to comment
