Alonzo King LINES Ballet : Dust and light |
| Abstract |
"Like so many dances by the celebrated choreographer Alonzo King, Dust and Light resembles poetry in motion," the Boston Globe proclaims. In a landscape that shifts like the clouds, dappling the stage with soft light and then bathing the dancers in silvery radiance, Alonzo King brings out the emotional intimacy of dance. The LINES Ballet dancers move in harmonious counterpoint to each other, setting off the rich variations of Arcangelo Corelli's Baroque music against Francis Poulenc's otherworldly sacred choral odes. Each body is replete with radiant potential, as if the stage were filled with a dozen moons--or perhaps with a dozen suns, since, as Alonzo King says, "a tendu isn't just the straightening of the leg but a ray of light radiating from the sun." As the duets and trios of dancers culminate in an exuberant ensemble, the intimacy of the piece expands and opens outwards, immersing the audience in luminous grace. |
