The New York-based Cedar Lake Contemporary Ballet is named after a street in Missouri, home of the studio where one of the company’s founders studied ballet many years ago. Both locales – in Missouri and in New York City – are a far distance from any lake, but somehow the name is appropriate: evoking visions of the still and pristine natural world of a wilderness lake.

For the occasion of what I believe has become Cedar Lake’s annual tradition of showcasing work at the Joyce Theater, this contemporary ballet troupe has assembled an impressive trio of guest choreographers – Nederlands Dans Theater’s former chief Jiří Kylián, Crystal Pite and Andonis Foniadakis.
