Choreographic

The various "choreographic" movements seen at piano recitals may sometimes be showy rather than useful, but they all grow out of this same aim: the control of acceleration. ❋ Ryser, Marc (1999)

I feel like my choreographic style has come more in line with what Trisha's is now, which has been great for me because I feel like I've kind of molded the two together. ❋ The New York Public Library (2011)

"Revelations" had its debut Jan. 31, 1960, at the 92nd St Y, after which it became the signature choreographic piece for Alvin Ailey American Dance Theater, and the most performed work of contemporary modern dance in the world. ❋ Unknown (2011)

The production draws on a range of dance techniques, from ballet to modern to breaking's gravity-defying acrobatics, but the most choreographic fun comes in "Do Re Mi," which invents a little step for each note, and a phrase for each of the song's phrases - "So, a needle pulling thread," for example - then combines them all, as the song does, into a busy, multilayered composition. ❋ Kris Wilton (2010)

Using collage techniques, surreal juxtapositions and experiments with light and composition, he captures a deeper sense of the choreographic aesthetic, or a dancer's personality, along with the actual movement material being portrayed. ❋ Unknown (2011)

At its 2010 premiere the work already possessed a euphoric, shattering power, with Shechter's musical and choreographic meditation on the dynamics of political power mediated via military drummers, folk dancing, a ranting dictator figure and a quartet of electric guitars. ❋ Unknown (2011)

Any celebration of Stravinsky must include dance, and Mark Morris, whose choreographic work for a previous festival, "Mozart Dances," miraculously captured every musical shape and impulse in Mozart's Piano Concerto No. 11, is now offering Stravinsky's "Renard," a small theater piece based on a Russian tale about farmyard animals outwitting a prowling fox. ❋ Stuart Isacoff (2011)

The choreographic text, however, was less engaging. ❋ Unknown (2012)
