BWW Review: ABT's Le Corsaire Proves the Classics Can be Modern Again
by Christina Pandolfi - June 19, 2019
In an age where entertainment is binged and consumed for instant gratification, it's refreshing to sit with something and savor it--to indulge your senses and truly enjoy. And an evening of indulgence is precisely what American Ballet Theatre offered on the evening of June 14, 2019, at the Metropolitan Opera House with Le Corsaire. A classic in every sense of the word–historically, choreographically, and narratively– the company tickled audience goers with refreshed nuance and self-aware tongue-in-cheek humor that brought this standard into the 21st Century.

Switzerland Joins Contemporary Dance Festival
by BWW News Desk - June 12, 2019
This virtuoso dance work, inaudible, won a Swiss Dance Award 2017 in the Current Works Competition. In his work, Swiss-Belgian choreographer Thomas Hauert touches the common ground between dance and music. Thomas Hauert takes the notion of 'interpretation' as a starting point for this group performance for six dancers (2016). The choreographer uses existing pieces of music that he closely relates to choreographic scores, structured improvisations linked to the music. Here, the dancers confront themselves with George Gershwin's Concerto in F and Ludus de Morte Regis by contemporary composer Mauro Lanza. Always looking for new approaches to dance, Hauert reverses the principle of 'mickeymousing' and lets the movements follow the music directly. The result is a condensed and detailed choreography, a fascinating series of movements that make tangible the musical experience.
