"[Karole] Armitage presents the dancers as molten steel cooling into stunning shapes." (The Village Voice). Look at her influences -- the only dancer to have performed with both George Balanchine AND Merce Cunningham. The only choreographer to have made work for both Rudolf Nureyev AND Mikhail Baryshnikov. (Oh, and Madonna. And Michael Jackson.) Renowned for her collaborations with important contemporary artists, like Brice Marden, David Salle and Jeff Koons. But all of this would only be so much buzz and fol de rol were it not for the stunning originality and beauty of her work. Now entering into her third decade of choreography, it's almost as if we were waiting for the 21st Century to begin so that her unique vision of ballet technique wedded to the modernist vocabulary would be understood and experienced as the source of intense pleasure that it is.
