dirac Posted October 23, 2022 Author Share Posted October 23, 2022 A review of Twyla Tharp at City Center by Siobhan Burke in The New York Times. Quote Soon the spunkiness of another twosome — Jeanette Delgado and Jada German, in ruby red socks and pointe shoes — cuts through the action, fortified by the assured presence and razor-sharp precision of Cassandra Trenary, who looks right at home in her regal role. More than once, Trenary presses her arms outward to push aside two of her partners, Daniel Ulbricht and Julian MacKay, a gesture of defiance that leaves her squarely at the center of our focus. At times, plunging into a penché or rotating in an arabesque, she seems like the prototypical ballerina against which more skewed, less classical movement defines itself. Link to comment
