“If this New Works Festival is, in some way, an inquiry into where classical dance will go in the 21st century, the answer may have been here: Ballet will evolve in small increments, as the brightest of our choreographers impart their own distinctive sensibilities to a venerable, much abused and ultimately triumphant language.”
