Artiste: Twyla Tharp

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

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.

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.
