Ivy Lin, 15th October

Twyla@60: A Tharp Celebration is an overall triumph though not just for Tharp, but for Susan Jaffe’s vision for American Ballet Theatre.

Twyla Tharp's Diamond Jubilee: disappointments and delights

Ivy Lin, 12th March

Despite my reservations about Diabelli, there is no doubt Twyla Tharp is one of the most inventive, adventurous voices in dance still (and she's 83). She deserves her flowers.

Kingdom of the Shades is a company's ultimate test

Ivy Lin, 27th October

Artistic Director, Susan Jaffe, reviving the Kingdom of the Shades for ABT’s Fall Season was both a testament to her trust in her company, and also a test.

Just as there can never be a bad performance of Serenade, there are no bad performances of In the Upper Room. It practically dances itself.

Twyla Tharp: still cool after all these years

Ivy Lin, 13th February

Two world premieres and a piece created in 1975. Tharp herself came onstage to raucous applause. She might be “pop dance”, but audiences love it.
