dirac Posted March 1, 2020 Share Posted March 1, 2020 A review of New York City Ballet by Siobhan Burke in The New York Times. Quote While “Rotunda” has its strained moments in this regard — as if the dancers were saying, “Look how well we get along!” — Mr. Peck, working with a commissioned score by Nico Muhly, has tapped back into a more spontaneous energy. There’s a refreshing looseness to his arrangements of bodies in space, especially in the first and last of the ballet’s eight sections, for the full cast of 12. It feels like a big exhale.

dirac Posted March 2, 2020 Author Share Posted March 2, 2020 A review of the Viviana Durante Company by Graham Watts for Bachtrack. Quote Some precious gifts come in small packages as was my feeling about this appealing triple bill that evoked both the history and legacy of Isadora Duncan, the free-thinking, free-spirited titan of modern dance and the philosophy of movement. Viviana Durante has curated and directed a programme that includes the restaging of one of Duncan’s own pivotal works; the loving tribute made to Duncan by Frederick Ashton, around fifty years’ after her tragic death; and a new work by Joy Alpuerto Ritter that was both an outstanding reflection of the Duncan legacy and a striking work in its own right.
