Three linked works of contemporary ballet provoke a very mixed response.

The Royal Ballet of Flanders presents in Madrid's Teatros del Canal an attractive triple bill with works by its Artistic Director Sidi Larbi Cherkaoui (Firebird and Faun) and the Canadian choreographer Crystal Pite (Ten Duets on a Theme of Rescue)

Rachel Rizzuto reviews Cedar Lake's final performances as a company at BAM in New York City.

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.

Ein abwechslungsreicher Theaterabend, der die Klasse auch der Juniorcompagnie des NDT einmal mehr eindrucksvoll unter Beweis stellt.
