Melnick transmits her creative process and performative instincts onto herself and these extraordinary ballet dancers. The work pushes the space the performers occupy and then pushes the body itself, using the full range of their unique personalities and skills in and out of the ballet shoe, playing with the juxtaposition of music and silence.
This exquisite evening weaves dance, spoken text, and an integrated moderated discussion together with live music for harpsichord by composer György Ligeti, violin by composer Heinrich Biber, and newly commissioned music by Robert Boston.
