Performer: Colin Fowler

Mark Morris Dance Group’s second week at the Joyce Theater in New York unveiled a world premiere in a mixed bill that represented a narrow range of Morris’ dazzling creativity.

It's possible to have nothing but admiration for Mark Morris as a choreographer, yet his actual dances I often find pedestrian with a limited vocabulary. The works are interesting to see once, to see what he can do with classical music that has no obvious dance rhythms, but I rarely want to see them again.

I’ve never seen an audience enjoy another Nutcracker production as much as this one.
