dirac Posted August 22, 2021 Share Posted August 22, 2021 Opening night at the Vail Dance Festival. Quote NYCB soloist Unity Phelan and this year’s artist in residence from the American Ballet Theatre, Calvin Royal III, kicked off the evening with an excerpt from “Apollo.” Phelan and Royal embodied choreographer George Balanchine’s piece with exquisite strength and balance; one of the most spectacular moments came toward the end, as Royal balanced Phelan on his back, and the two dancers created a gorgeous human sculpture. Throughout the piece, a live orchestra accompanied the duet, adding even more energy. Link to comment
