dirac Posted November 21, 2021 Share Posted November 21, 2021 A review of Ballet Cymru by Graham Watts for DanceTabs. Quote This live performance by Matthews has been the bedrock of Poems and Tiger Eggs, since its creation by Ballet Cymru’s artistic directors, Darius James and Amy Doughty (in 2017) and their anthology of some of Thomas’ best-loved poetry is sympathetically accompanied by the music of Matthews and Mason Neely, performed here by Arun Ghosh; seamlessly switching instruments between poems.

dirac Posted November 21, 2021 Author Share Posted November 21, 2021 A review of "Twyla Now" by Siobhan Burke in The New York Times. Quote A few minutes into “All In,” a new ballet by Twyla Tharp that had its premiere at City Center on Wednesday, a surprise scurried in from the wings. Up to that point, the evening had been a showcase for stars: current and former members of New York City Ballet, Alvin Ailey American Dance Theater and American Ballet Theater. But here, like a corps de ballet, were six lesser-known dancers, ages 14 to 21, who could be stars of the future. In black shorts, white T-shirts and ballet slippers, they looked like students dressed for class. If they had a name, it might be “Twyla: The Next Generation.” Link to comment
