Stand in the Wings with Pacific Northwest Ballet
Those of us in NYC were lucky enough to catch Pacific Northwest Ballet in performance last week. I’m totally jealous of Seattle audiences right now, because this company is amazing!
I’m still recovering from the brilliant dancing in on the contemporary program, which included David Dawson’s A Million Kisses to My Skin, William Forsythe’s The Vertiginous Thrill of Exactitude and Crystal Pite’s Emergence. Unfortunately, I wasn’t able to see the company’s all Balanchine program, which included Prodigal Son, Square Dance and Stravinsky Violin Concerto.
As usual, technology has the answer to my sorrows. This video of Leta Biasucci and Benjamin Griffiths makes you feel like you’re standing in the wings during their performance of Square Dance. And what’s even more mesmerizing than their stellar technique? The fact that they’re obviously having an amazing time dancing together.
