Joy and serenity flow from Mark Morris Dance Group in Toronto's Sony Centre at Luminato
Stanley Fefferman, 24th June
As Handel made music of John Milton’s poems L’Allegro and il Penseroso , Mark Morris made Handel’s music dance. The 32 scenes of Morris’ ballet breathe with inspiration of figures and designs from watercolours William Blake did for an edition of Milton’s poems.
