Unexpected humor and honest candor can be found in every article, and the photography and art direction elevate dance to the place of reverence and relevance it deserves. Bravo, Fjord."

In the Wake of Yes
REVIEWS | Karen Hildebrand

In the Wake of Yes

The title of Catherine Tharin’s latest production, “In the Wake of Yes,” is a reference to “Molly Bloom’s Soliloquy,” an inner monologue on womanhood and sexuality, from James Joyce’s Ulysses. Tharin matches the tone of this work as she picks up on an exuberant string of “yeses” from that text. Her witty series of dances explores romance and its complications. At the center of the show is a film by Lois Robertson that lifts the dancers out of the tiny East Village stage and transports them (and us) to scenes of contemporary New York City.

Requiem for Humanity
REVIEWS | Gracia Haby

Requiem for Humanity

Taking the historian’s long view, the message within “Last and First Men,” that “the whole duration of humanity, its evolution, and many successive species, is but a flash in the lifetime of the cosmos,” is, to me, ultimately a comfort.

Pure Moods
REVIEWS | Rebecca Deczynski

Pure Moods

“Into the Hairy”—the 45-minute ballet by choreographer Sharon Eyal and her creative collaborator Gai Behar—sets the tone immediately. Dancers dressed in arachnid-like unitards have a severe look, with black eye makeup that drips intensely down their cheeks, gothic and dramatic.

All Together Now
REVIEWS | Rebecca Deczynski

All Together Now

Transformation is inevitable—and necessary in order to persist. That’s a theme that runs through two new works staged by Rotterdam’s Scapino Ballet in “Origin,” a program focused entirely on emerging choreographic talent.

An apron-clad Marjani Forté-Saunders, spotlit on the steps of the St. Mark’s Church sanctuary, rocks from one bare foot to the other while swinging a brown paper bag, presumably filled with groceries.

Partners in Sublime
REVIEWS | Rebecca Deczynski

Partners in Sublime

For the most dynamic performers, artistry is an embodied quality. Whether through natural aptitude or diligent training—or most often, a combination of the two—the performer transcends the physical, choreographed act of their composition to present something that lingers outside the boundaries of their form.

New York Knickknacks 

For the third year in a row, I attended the Spring is Blooming festival on Mother’s Day. Thanks to Dance Reflections by Van Cleef & Arpels and artist Alexandre Benjamin Navet, in place of crowded, overpriced brunches, I now look forward to a public dance spectacle, bougie swag, and the delightful camouflaging of the concrete jungles of midtown with pop-art flowers, pastel gazebos, and lazy bench swings.
