Kathleen O'Connell Posted February 9, 2019 Share Posted February 9, 2019 From the New York Times: Pam Tanowitz Joins Lineup for City Ballet’s Spring Gala I happen to be a Tanowitz fangirl, so as far as I'm concerned, it's about time. Apparently, Tanowitz had originally been tapped to choreograph something for the Fall 2019 gala, but her commission was accelerated when one of the Spring 2019 choreographers had to drop out for personal reasons. Her work will be set to Bartok's Fifth String Quartet. Tanowitz was a student of Viola Farber, and some of that Cunningham heritage shows in her work, although she is very much her own choreographer. I once heard her declare "Oh! I LOVE petit allegro" during a post-performance Q&A. Link to comment

Tanowitz has already done some work with NYCB dancers at Vail, where she's also worked with dancers from ABT & MCB. Link to comment
BalanchineFan Posted March 8, 2019 Share Posted March 8, 2019 Tanowitz showed a beautiful piece at Fall for Dance last fall choreographed to Bach. The piano was onstage. It was a new take on The Goldberg Variations. I"m sorry we won't get to see a new Emma Portner, but Tanowitz is an excellent choice. Link to comment
