I saw the Saturday matinee performance (but was late, so missed the Dawson piece). I enjoyed Concerto, but I felt as if the piece was too big and sprawling for the stage they were on, so the impact may have been less than desired. I thoroughly enjoyed the second movement of Concerto, when I wasn't worried about anyone stepping on anyone else 😉 and could just enjoy the music and movement (which, for me, "matched" the theme of the whole production - that of music and choreography impacting emotions in a theatrical way).
I LOVED Crystal Pite's piece, Angels' Atlas. I found the choreography incredible and emotional with the body of dancers appearing to become a living, breathing organism. In an odd way, this choreography reminded me a bit of Balanchine's Serenade piece in that I agree with Vipa (above) that
I've never seen any of her choreography before, but I am a fan now, and will seek out more of her work. Just an incredible experience for me as a theater goer.
I'd never been to the New York City Center before, but it is quite intimate and I enjoyed seeing these theatrical and emotional ballet pieces up close and personal. In my opinion, I thought the company represented itself quite well with clean and precise work that was artfully and loving done.
